“Fast bowler, doesn’t matter how old is he, 17, 19, 24 and 35+, you will have niggles, sore backs, hamstring injuries, sore shoulders,” Akram said addressing the media in Colombo. “So a little bit pain, little bit headache or fever and suddenly say I’m not playing the test match. I said, I’m going to play the game, after one session, everything is back to normal. Now a days what’s happening is a little niggle they say I am not playing,” he added.
Akram, 50, conducted a day-long coaching clinic in Colombo on Thursday, in what would be the first of a series of programmes involving foreign experts. He is expected to visit Sri Lanka at least twice a year to conduct such coaching sessions as Sri Lanka Cricket looks to foreign experts to help the local talent.
