Islamabad
National High Performance Centre (NHPC), fast-bowling coach Mohammad Zahid wants to see Pakistan producing greats like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar, saying there was incredible talent in the country that just needs guidance to produce the right results. ‘I see this as a great opportunity to work with fast-bowlers in Pakistan of varying ages and varying levels of experience. I’m really looking forward to the challenge and it gives me a chance to share my experiences, both good and bad with the bowlers that I will be working with,’ pakpassion.net quoted him as saying. Pakistan is blessed with great resources when it comes to art of fast-bowling, but, this talent needs to be guided to produce right results and this was exactly what Zahid, who was recently appointed at NHPC in Lahore, was looking forward to doing in his new role. ‘There’s an incredible amount of pace-bowling talent in Pakistan, you just have to nurture that talent, guide it and then let it flourish. I’ve always believed that natural flair and ability should be allowed to blossom and not curtailed. As a coach, you should be there to guide and to get best out of players.—Agencies
