Bumrah has mastered the art we Pakistanis used to have once: Akhtar
Pakistan cricket's tainted duo Salman Butt and Mohammed Asif started their journey on the road to redemption with both the convicted spot-fixers making a successful return to competitive cricket during the National One-Day Competition, in Hyderabad (Sind). Having served a prison sentence and a subsequent ban, it was the duo's first match in five years and four months since they were caught for spot-fixing during the 2010 series against England. Former national captain Butt scored an attractive 135 while swing bowler Asif looked in good rhythm taking 2/23 in 6 overs with their team Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) defeating FATA region in a match played at Hyderabad (Sind).
A World Cup victory will put Kohli in a league of his own and even those sceptical about his tactical nous, will have no other option but to grudgingly doff their hats at his heady achievements.
