Legendary pacer blown away by bowling of unknown youngster

Pakistan has a history of producing some of the most feared quicks on the planet.

The country boasts a never-ending production belt of fast-bowling stars and the gift that keeps on giving may continue to do so as a remarkably young talent has emerged on the scene.



The young bowler has caught the eye of Pakistan's legendary Wasim Akram and ha an action that is distinctly similar to the left-arm pacer. A video of the young child bowling went viral on Thursday.
