[VIDEOS] Akif Javed, young left-arm pacer from Karak, KPK

Disappointing for him as not been invited for the bowler's camp by Waqar - Maybe too early for him but guess Waqar knows best!

Some genius thought Bilawal Bhatti was younger and more exciting prospect.
 
His seam deliveries remind me of how Mohammad Abbas started. Very difficult to face for right handers the way the ball cuts in.
 
I hope he plays in this under 19 world cup (if he is eligible), Pakistan will be a force to reckon with in this world cup...

Pakistan's world cup to loose with Naseem, Akif Javed, Haider Ali, Rohail Nazir, the other tall pacer from KPK.
 
8 wickets for Akif Javed in the National T20 Cup:

Khurram Manzoor
Saud Shakeel
Sohail Khan
Umar Akmal
Shan Masood
Mohammad Hafeez
Aamer Yamin
Umar Amin
 
I don't think that Akif is eligible for U19 worldcup, he will eat those kids alive together With Nasim and Akhtar Shah.

He is definitely the find of the tournament reminds me of zaheer khan.
 
Surprised he wasn't called up to the recent bowlers camp.

Listed as 19 on PCB's website and 17 on the broadcast :23:

Seems like he was right in giving him more time in domestic, lots of learning to do, practice makes perfect.
 
Good that he has been given a go in 4 day cricket as well and that too in the current domestic structure which is as tough as it gets. He will learn with his struggles in the format and that will make him into a better bowler.
 
How come this possible when they have DOB and academic certificates proof

A lot of errors take place especially in the broadcast in terms of type of bowler, batsmen as well as age. I have seen this number of times, data is easily available of PCB's website as well as other sites so there is no excuse for such things to happen.

Zeeshan Ashraf "In Pakistan, everyone alters their age to show that they are younger and I wasn’t wise to that and missed out for most of the years when I should have been playing at Under 19 level. I went for Under 19 regional trials and got selected but I got limited opportunities due to over-age players getting chances ahead of me".
 
Also not to forget that unlike Naseem, Musa, Shaheen and Hasnian who have been training at the national academy and under the supervision of other coaches for couple of years, Akif has just come under the radar. He is pretty new to the game as he wasnt even part of the junior teams like the names mentioned so obviously he is raw however, he has got a lot of potential which just needs to be refined which I am sure will be as he is in the radar now so he will be worked upon in national academy and will get opportunities to play domestic cricket and might even get a chance in PSL too.

Its really surprising if it still happens as freely and at the same scale as it did in 90s.

Iftikhar Ahamd is a perfect example along with Imran khan snr.
 
He should probably play 2nd XI red ball at the moment to get used to it. Playing 1XI might be a bit too much for him right now, it adds a lot of pressure given he has never played red ball cricket.

Maybe he should be sent to the NCA.
 
Who is the Islamabad United bowling coach? Who is he working with to improve?

Donovan Miller is IU's bowling coach. Guy is a coaching prodigy as he became a coach when he was only 20 and now he is 41. Was the head coach of Vancouver Knights and Jozi Stars.
 
The best debut in PSL after sometime. Pace, seam movement, line and length, a treat to watch. The surprise inswing that went through Watson was just amazing, if he had pitched up the bowl more full Watson was a goner.
