Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram praised tall fast bowler Mohammad Irfan on Wednesday for bowling a tight line against India in the first T20 international in Bangalore and said he would be difficult bowler to handle for the opposition batsmen.
“I am very impressed with his (Mohammad Irfan) performance. I was amazed to see him bowling around 142 and 144 (kmph) at his height, and he also maintained a good, aggressive line. If he keeps on bowling like this and further improves, he will prove to be too hot to handle for many of the world’s leading players,” Akram said.
Irfan came back to the national side after being dropped in 2010 and returned with figures of 1-25 in his four overs.
Akram said Pakistan displayed maturity and handled the pressure well against India. (PTI)
