Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has revealed that legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram had a huge impact on his career and life.
Flintoff’s comments came as he recalled the time when he played county cricket with Akram for Lancashire.
"@BumbleCricket said I was the best slip catcher he'd ever seen" 👐
"I dropped 3 catches before lunch… @wasimakramlive shouted 'get him out of there!'" 🙈@flintoff11's First-Class debut didn't exactly go to plan!

“I’ll never be able to thank you enough for the impact you had on my career and life Wasim Akram,” Flintoff said on Twitter.
