Pakistan’s former captain and one of the greatest fast bowlers Waqar Younus will conduct a bowling clinic at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium from Friday.
According to Gulf News, Mazhar Khan, secretary of the Sharjah Cricket Council, said: “We will conduct a three-day clinic with Waqar (Younus). It would be a lifetime opportunity for budding pacers in the UAE to learn the art of bowling from a legendary pacer like him.” Younus, who grew up in Sharjah and learned the basics of the game here during his school days, has expressed his delight in sharing his knowledge and experience to the youngsters here. Younus was also the former Pakistan team coach and one of the leading commentators in the world today. His yorkers, known as toe-crushers, had trapped even the best of batsmen in the world.
The clinic is being conducted by Sharjah Cricket Academy under the auspices of Sharjah Cricket Council. “Younus will hold two sessions each day from February 8 to 10 and provide valuable tips to strengthen as a bowler with the participants. The first session will be held from 3pm to 5pm, and the second session will commence from 6pm to 8pm,” said Khan. Younus has played in 87 Tests and 262 One-day internationals for Pakistan. Players who are above 15 years of age are eligible to apply.
