PSL 9: Waqar advises Shaheen to learn from Amir’s spell against Islamabad United

Former Pakistani fast bowler Waqar Younis advised Shaheen Shah Afridi to observe Mohammad Amir's performance for Quetta Gladiators against Islamabad United in thein the first eliminator of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9 at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi, on Friday.

Amir's exceptional length in the first over conceded only two runs and troubled the United openers, earning praise from commentators like Ramiz Raja.

“This really was well bowled, look at the length. He spotted that length and just carried on hammering the ball there, forcing the batsman to be in two minds,” Raja said while commentating during the match.

Waqar, who was also in the commentary box, emphasized that Afridi should replicate such bowling when swing isn't in favor, aiming for consistent length.

“I hope Shaheen Afridi is watching that because I think he needs to do that more often. Because early on if it [the ball] isn’t swinging, just hit this length,” Waqar added.

Amir concluded with figures of 2/20 in four overs, limiting United to 174/9 in 20 overs.
