How Inzimam ul Haq and Wasim Akram were selected in 1992
First, it comes to Wasim, it’s like a dream story for him and a story every school boy dreams of.Wasim was employed in the nets to handle and give practice to the already selected cricket squad. It was noticed that he bowled better than the already selected bowlers, so he was given a place in the team.”
That is how Inzamam-ul-Haq was discovered. He had been a part of a 3-4 year first class cricket career, with no special records. But one scout of mine kept telling me how great a talent Inzimam was. It was my last year in cricket, and after watching Inzamam’s game for just 5 minutes, I told him that he would play in the 1992 World Cup. Selectors criticized me for the next year and told me that I was wasting my time.
They said Inzamam was fat and a failure, but I kept inzi intact and took him to the World Cup. One of the selectors even resigned because of my decision.
