Mohammad Amir will have to see where he stands, says Waqar Younis

Pakistan cricket team bowling coach Waqar Younis says that no player is indispensable for the team, Mohammad Amir will have to see where he stands so that his future can be planned.

Responding to media questions on the video link from Derby, Waqar Younis said that when Mohammad Aamir suddenly decided to quit red ball cricket, he did not like it because the team needed him. Mohammad Amir is playing white ball cricket, he is experienced, so we had a chance, so we called him. And based on the rhythm, the team will need to play.

The former fast bowler said that all the fast bowlers in England are bowling well which is a matter of satisfaction for me. Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shaheen Afridi are talented and now they are also learning the art of taking wickets. It is too early to comment on these two, it will be too early to comment but there is no doubt in the abilities of both the bowlers they are learning fast.

Waqar Younis said that neither Mohammad Hafeez nor Shoaib Malik can be advised to retire as I am not a member of the selection committee, I am a facilitator and I can give advice based on my experience. It is their personal decision whether to retire or not. If they do not retire, then it is up to the selectors to decide whether to select or not.

Bowling coach Waqar Younis said that apart from Virat Kohli, many athletes also have top level in fitness. Virat’s level is also good but Pakistani players did not reach his standard but they have their own standard. Babar Azam is super fit. Shaheen Shah Afridi is also getting much better. Other players are also excellent in fitness.

Waqar Younis said that before the Test series starting from August 5, the players will be 100% ready. All have confidence, they will challenge England in the series.

The former fast bowler said that at first I thought it would be difficult for the bowlers not to spit but it did not happen because of which I am surprised that there is a swing and there is no issue.
