Waqar, while speaking to Pakpassion, was all praise for the Matra-born cricketer, who troubled the Sri Lankan batting, which possesses some world-class operators. The legendary cricketer praised Junaid’s bowling discipline,
which was found wanting in the others.
“The young man looked in good rhythm in the Test series. It was great to see Junaid bowling so well against a powerful Sri Lankan batting line up,” the former captain mentioned. “The main reason why Junaid was successful and Umar
Gul and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Sami-c77289 struggled was that Junaid was bowling the right length for those wickets.”
The left-armer has so far played eight Tests, 11 ODIs and three T20s for the Green Shirts, picking up 41 scalps at reasonable averages in the first two formats. Junaid, because of his ineffective performances in T20 cricket in the
past, has failed to find a place in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 squad, which was announced earlier this week.
The Green Shirts’ former coach is predicting a great future for Junaid but understands that the youngster needs to work on his fitness, which is the key to delivering goods in international cricket on regular basis. Waqar also urged
the team management and the selectors to use the young cricketer wisely in future, to extract the best out of him.
“Junaid’s a real talent, an up and coming bowler who will only get better if he is looked after properly. It’s vital that he is looked after, his fitness maintained and he is used at the right times by his captains,” he added.
