Pakistan seamer Mohammad Asif noted that the “best 3-4 fast bowlers who have come to the fore in the past have been Gujjars”.

Gujjars are an ethnic group of people in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

Asif was specifically talking about himself, Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Amir.

“The best 3-4 fast bowlers who have come to the fore in the past have been Gujjars – Shoaib Akhtar, Amir and I are all Gujjars,” Asif said on The Burgerz show as quoted by PakPassion. “For fast bowling you need strong bodies, and Gujjars as you know have always been strong.

“We are getting a lot of quantity when it comes to newer fast bowlers but the quality is not coming through.”
