Despite T20 cricket having tons of fan-following and pushing ODI cricket out of the limelight, Akram, who picked 414 wickets in 104 Tests, still believes that Test cricket is the most prominent format of the game.
Whenever bowlers work their magic on a cricket field, they always give us memories that last for a lifetime. For a generation of fast bowlers to come, Akram's story is no different. The man had a reputation for taking the responsibility of winning his team important matches and whenever he was on song, nothing seemed impossible.
The former Pakistan captain who is regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time had a reputation for turning matches in his team's favor when times got tough.
Akram, who is in Australia, tweeted that the PCB chairman's job was a specialised one and he was not up for it.
Akram said too much fuss was created over Amir’s personal decisions in recent times.
Akram, known for his pace and the ability to swing the ball in both directions, bowled a quicker delivery that went on to hit Tendulkar on the helmet.
