Former wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif said Pakistan will never produce another bowler like Mohammad Asif.
Latif noted that Asif was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of pace bowler as he had the ability to make the ball move and swing.
He added that when bowling with the new ball, Asif was virtually unstoppable.
