Wahab vs Watson spell: Wasim Akram

DUBAI: Wahab Riaz earned a special place in the hearts of cricket fans around the world after his fiery spell to Australia's Shane Watson in the 2015 World Cup quarter final.

But former pace great Wasim Akram has urged Wahab to move on from that 'one over' if he is to be considered a leader of Pakistan's fast bowling attack.

In the recently concluded New Zealand series, Wahab took five wickets in three T20s at an economy rate of 9.72. In two ODIs, he picked up two wickets at a rate of 6.32 and he was easily upstaged by Mohammad Amir in his comeback series.

 “He should keep in mind that he can’t dwell on one good over at the 2015 World Cup. He needs to sort out problems if he harbours any hopes to be among first choices for Pakistan,” added the former great.
