Former Pakistan pacer makes shocking revelations about Waqar Younis - Details here

Former Pakistan pacer made Mohammad Asif has made some shocking revelations about compatriot Waqar Younis saying the latter used to cheat with the ball in order to get reverse swing.

Asif in an interview with Pakistan channel ARY News said: "Waqar Younis used to cheat with the ball to do reverse swing. He did not know how to bowl with the new ball in most of his career. He learned a bit about bowling with the new ball in the twilight phase of his career.

"People know Waqar as a master of reverse swing but he never developed a single bowler who could bowl a perfect reverse swing. These people are in coaching for the last 20 years but they never produced quality bowlers. They lack consistency in making combinations. We have quantity, not quality bowlers," he added.

Currently, Younis is currently the bowling coach of Pakistan's men's team. During his playing career, Waqar Younis took 373 wickets in Tests and 416 scalps in ODIs.

Younis retired from international cricket in 2003 and was regarded as one of the finest bowlers to come out of Pakistan.

As for Asif, his cricketing career came to a premature end in 2010 after being found guilty in a spot-fixing scandal. He was found guilty of deliberately bowling no-balls during Pakistan's tour of England.

In 2011, the pacer was banned from the sport of cricket for seven years. Asif played 23 Tests, 38 ODIs, and 11 T20Is and managed to take 165 wickets across all formats.
