http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 slams the Indian selectors after the World T20 debacle – Cricket News Update
Wasim Akram, the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, and believes that India must find new fast bowlers in order to remain competitive at the international
level.
Having won the inaugural edition of the World T20 in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and company have failed to qualify for the semi-finals for the third consecutive time.
India possess one of the world’s strongest batting line-ups in the presence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539 and Dhoni himself, but their bowling has been below par since the last couple of years.
It was a poor bowling performance against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in their opening Super 8 fixture of the tournament which destroyed their net run-rate and eventually became the reason behind their omission from the list of the semi-finalists. The Aussie openers (Shane
Watson and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301) looked completely at ease against an impotent Indian bowling attack.
The selectors did not opt for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744, two upcoming fast bowlers, in the World T20, which is shocking for the former Pakistan captain, who believes that the two right-armers are the future of Indian cricket.
"Where is Umesh Yadav? And Varun Aaron seems to be a forgotten name. With the new selection committee in place, both Umesh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trichunapalli-Pradeep-Varun-c94404 should be groomed to power India's pace battery,” Akram said.
The former cricketer raised question-marks over Zaheer Khan’s fitness and feels that the left-armer cannot play in every format for the country.
Talking about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 at home, starting from November, the legendary player advised the selectors to show confidence on the young fast bowlers.
"I have said before that Zaheer has to choose the format of cricket he wants to play. I can't see him running in hard every ball and bamboozling batsmen with pace and movement,” he added. "India must find replacements and very soon at that. India need fresh
legs and stronger shoulders because they will be playing a series of matches at home from November.”
