Islamabad, June 5: 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.â€
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. .
