Former Pakistan left-arm seamer Wahab Riaz is working with the current fast bowlers to make sure their “bowling is spot on”.
He noted that he is specifically working on their line and length, and won’t stop until it is perfect.
Pakistan’s pace attack has been criticised in the past for leaking too many runs, and Wahab is now coaching them in order to develop their skills and ensure they bowl a lot more accurately.
“I am working with the fast bowlers on their line and length – and I will not stop until their bowling is spot on,” the 40-year-old was quoted as saying by Khel Shel on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The men in green recently faced Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series, which they won 3-0.
They then toured Bangladesh for another three-match T20I series, but were beaten 2-1.
Most recently, Pakistan travelled to the West Indies and began their campaign on a high as they triumphed 2-1 in the T20I series.
It was a different story in the ODIs as they ended up losing 2-1.
