Ahmed Shehzad participated in a This and That game, where he was given the task of picking one out of two names. During the pacers’ round, he kept Wasim Akram above Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell Starc. The host of Nadir Ali’s podcast started with Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, and the player went with the former.
The second question had names of Jasprit Bumrah, Shane Bond, Rana Naved, Mitchell Starc, and Shaun Tait, but he picked Wasim Akram. “Wasim Akram was better than all the names you have mentioned,” he said.
He lauded Bumrah for his bowling display. “He is the top bowler in the current generation. He is a world-class bowler who is winning matches for his country. In the wicket-keeper’s section, he preferred Rashid Latif over Brendon McCullum, Rishabh Pant, Mohammad Rizwan, Kamran Akmal, and Mushfiqur Rahim.
