Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif admitted that seamer Mohammad Asif was a “magician” with the ball.
Asif is renowned for being one of the best swing bowlers Pakistan, but his international career was cut short when he was banned for five years for his involvement in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal.
Many legendary players, such as Kevin Pietersen and Hashim Amla, have admitted that Asif was the toughest bowler they faced.
