Mohammad Zahid backs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Champions Trophy 2013 – Cricket news
Pakistan’s former fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Peter-Hewitt-c66001 efficiently.
The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peshawar-c832 is not taking part in the Champions Trophy because of a recent knee surgery.
Since the ban imposed on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993, Gul has been the spearhead of the Pakistani bowling attack, although he is a little inconsistent and as per most sporting analysts he has so far failed to justify his talent at the highest stage of
the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-c64444 will deliver the goods
under pressure.
“In the absence of Umar Gul, the squad is missing some vital experience but despite the loss of Gul to injury, Junaid Khan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Irfan-c76983 are very capable of leading the attack,” the former pacer wrote.
Apart from Junaid and Irfan, Pakistan have Wahab, Ehsan Adil and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Ali-c46178 in their squad for the mega event. It remains to be seen that which one of them is picked in the final eleven to support the main strike bowlers.
Zahid has a lot of faith in the abilities of Wahab and feels that the left-armer has the potential to win matches for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. The former cricketer gives him an added advantage due to his batting skills.
“Wahab Riaz can concede the odd boundary, but he's also capable of taking wickets. That's a very important skill, particularly in competitive tournaments like the Champions Trophy and to me, Wahab can be a match-winner,” he added. “His batting strength must
also be considered an asset given Pakistan's struggles with the bat up the order and his passion cannot be doubted.”
Zahid himself was a tearaway fast bowler in his playing days, who failed to have a prolonged career in international cricket due to continuous fitness issues.
