Mohammad Amir is future of Pakistan cricket, says Wasim Akram
ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram praised
pacer Mohammad Amir and termed him to be the 'future of Pakistani cricket.'
Talking
to a private news channel on Monday, Wasim said, "Amir is a brilliant
bowler and the future of cricket in the country."
Wasim
also revealed the advice he had granted to Amir. “I told Amir to focus on only
one thing; cricket. Leave everything else.”
Amir
made an international comeback earlier this year during Pakistan's tour of New
Zealand after he was banned from cricket for five years when he bowled
deliberate no-balls for money.
The
left-arm pacer donned Pakistan colours in the Asia Cup T20 and ICC World T20
this year. He has been drafted in the 17-man squad for the upcoming tour of
England.
The
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is hopeful that the 24-year-old will be granted a
visa by the British immigration authorities this week. .
