Pace legend Wasim Akram said yesterday he was confident Pakistan’s pool of young fast bowling talent would secure their future as he prepared to train a group of budding bowlers.
The 49-year-old, regarded as one of the best left-arm pacemen to have played the game, will train around 20 young bowlers from across the country, in particular from the tribal areas along the Afghan border and northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Pakistan has enormous talent,” said Wasim at the launch of the 13-day camp conducted by the Pakistan Cricket Board.

“Talent keeps coming because there is a passion for bowling fast in Pakistan so we need to nurture the talent and I am confident that the future is secure.”
“I am happy that bowlers from remote areas have come to the camp and even though the 13-day period is short but I am sure these bowlers will learn the basics, like I did when I was young.
