My hero is only Waqar Younis, says Ehsan Adil ? Cricket News Update
Pakistan?s young and emerging fast bowler, Ehsan Adil, has revealed that his bowling hero is the former Test captain, Waqar Younis, but the budding cricketer is also inspired by Glenn McGrath and has modelled his action on the former Australian fast bowler.
The Sheikhupura-born cricketer represented the Green Shirts in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2012, played in Australia, impressing one and all with his ability to bowl fast consistently and extract bounce from the hard pitches.
Since the ban imposed on Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, Pakistan have struggled in the fast bowling department, with the likes of Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Sami and Aizaz Cheema being too inconsistent at the world stage. The emergence of talented speedsters like Adil is surely a good sign for the Green Shirts.
While speaking exclusively to Pakpassion, the 19-year-old cricketer expressed that he loved the way Waqar Younis ran into bowl and terrorized the batsmen all around the globe.
?I?ve only ever had one hero and that is Waqar Younis. I loved the way that Waqar bowled those inswinging yorkers at great pace,? said the budding pacer. ?As far as bowling actions go, Glenn McGrath?s action was impeccable, almost effortless and when I played tape ball cricket in my early days I modelled my action on McGrath.?
The youngster is currently representing Habib Bank Limited (HBL) in the on-going President?s Trophy in the country. In his debut first-class season, Ehsan has been absolutely brilliant, picking up 30 wickets in just four matches till date at an impressive average of 13.56 runs per scalp, including a couple of five-wicket hauls.
HBL is one of the strongest domestic teams in Pakistan, having the services of a number of current international stars, including Younis Khan, Shahid Afridi, Ahmed Shehzad, Abdur Rehman and Imran Farhat.
Ehsan believes that playing alongside the seasoned campaigners will help him enhance his skills and to learn the tricks of the trade faster.
?I signed with Habib Bank last month after Pakistan Under 19 coach Sabih Azhar spoke with me and he felt that I would as a medium fast bowler get some good opportunities to develop my talents at Habib Bank,? he added.
