Recently, 17-year-old Pakistan left-arm spinner Faisal Akram made headlines, as he bowled Babar Azam in a follow match on the Gaddafi Stadium. The ball spun again and bamboozled the Pakistan skipper, and the spinner acquired his most memorable wicket.
“He [Babar] is a world-class player, so I was under a little bit of pressure early on. But Waqar [Younis] bhai, who was standing beside me as an umpire, gave me confidence and said that I can do it. I was bowling well at that time as well, so Babar bhai got a good ball and was dismissed. After that my confidence just sky rocketed,” Faisal instructed Cricket Pakistan in a chat.
