Legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram is backing batsman Haider Ali to bring “positive change for Pakistan”.
Akram’s comments come after he was extremely impressed with the 19-year-old’s performance against England.
Haider starred in his international debut in the third T20 International against England.
The 19-year-old smashed a 33-ball 54, which included five boundaries and two sixes, to lead Pakistan to a five-run win.
In addition to being an “exciting” talent, Akram admitted that Haider “has a beautiful drive”.
