Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf gets a strong snub from Wasim Akram

Pakistan legendary bowler Wasim Akram gave a strict lesson to Pakistanipacer Haris Rauf. He emphasizes that Haris Rauf’s success cannot solelydepend on bowling at high speeds to secure wickets. Instead, he underscoresthe importance of Rauf’s strategic thinking and ability to induce mistakesfrom batsmen.

According to the Sultan of Swing, Haris Rauf should prioritize consistencyand innovation in his bowling approach, highlighting that wickets will comewhen batsmen are enticed to go on the offensive.

Wasim Akram notes that he has not witnessed Rauf exhibit the ability toswing the ball and claim wickets in the same manner as Jasprit Bumrah didin a match against India. While Rauf possesses pace, Akram suggests thatrefining his length for one-day cricket is necessary for improvement.

However, the former Pakistan captain expresses satisfaction with ShaheenAfridi’s performance in the World Cup thus far.

Akram acknowledges the challenges that Shaheen Afridi has faced, includinga significant injury the previous year. Nevertheless, he commends Afridi’sbowling, especially in the crucial match against India, where he securedtwo important wickets.
