KARACHI—Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis Monday lashed at selectors for not considering young fast bowler Sohail Tanvir in the Test series against South Africa.
“You should include the youngster when he is roaring to go,” Pakistans’ expressed fast bowler Waqar said in his television comments while praising the young left arm fast medium Sohail.
Twenty-year-old Sohail impressed everyone with his swing and deceptive wrong-footed action during the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa.
Rawalpindi-based Sohail mesmerized top batsmen of Australia and India to take Pakistan to the final. He took three wickets for 31 runs against Aussies which included the wickets of Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, and Mike Hussey.
“He (Sohail) is a pace bowler of immense potential and his inclusion would have boosted the Pakistan attack,” Waqar opined.
He also expressed his surprise over inclusion of only four specialist bowlers in the line-up with six batsmen after Inzamam-ul-Haq and Muhammad Yousuf came in the side at the expense of Muhammad Hafeez and Faisal Iqbal.
Pace duo of Muhammad Asif and Umar Gul and spinners Danish Kaneria and Abdul Rehman are four specialist bowlers in Pakistan fold.
Waqar, who took 373 wickets in 87 test matches and 414 wickets in 262 ODIs, said Rao Iftikhar should have been in the team as third pacers in the side.
He said Umar Gul wearing arm strapping in the right arm near the elbow showed that he also does not fully fit.
Waqar maintained that Umar Gul should be given proper rest after every spell so that his injury could not aggravate.
