Former Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Asif has sounded an alarm over the future of fast bowlers in Pakistan, warning that if the team continues to win matches using spinners, fast bowlers may become obsolete.

Asif’s comments came during a recent event in the United States, where he met with former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, famously known as the "Rawalpindi Express." The two legends shared a heartfelt embrace, but it was Asif’s emotional remarks during an interview that quickly caught attention. A video of his conversation with a media representative has since gone viral on social media.

In the interview, Asif expressed concern for the future of Pakistan's fast bowlers, saying, “If the national team begins winning matches at home using spinners, fast bowlers will eventually disappear.”

His comments have sparked debate on social media, with many users criticizing Asif’s statement.
