I have actually seen batsmen crying while facing Asif. Laxman once said ‘how will I face this guy’, AB de Villiers literally started crying during the Asian Test Championship,” Akhtar instructed Sports Today.

Asif’s profession got here to halt in 2010 after getting convicted 2010 spot fixing scandal as he obtained a seven-year ban. Earlier in 2006, Akhtar and Asif additionally examined constructive for utilizing efficiency enhancement medication.

His physique language shouldn’t be aggressive, he is the nicest man I’ve come throughout. But when he involves bowl, in these 5 seconds he showcases his aggression in his size.

What I find very nice about him is that he thinks about his bowling, he’s a team man, good fast bowler and he’s a match-winner. What I feel should do is gain a bit of muscle mass. I told this to Hardik Pandya also during the Asia Cup. Even Ravi Shastri agreed with me on this,” Akhtar mentioned.
