Waqar lamented that due to the on and off strained relations with India, he got to play only four Tests against them in an international career spanning 14-years, featuring 87 Tests and 262 ODIs. “It’s always been like this that is why making my test debut against India is something I don’t forget,” he said. Waqar also praised the wealth of pace talent coming through in India. “If you see India has really worked hard in this area and they are now producing bowlers regularly who bowl in the 140 plus range. In the past it was not like this. But things have changed. (Jasprit) Bumrah, (Mohammed) Shami, Ishant (Sharma) they have taken India to the top. That is why India is doing so well in Test and other formats now,” he said. Waqar also pointed out that India had a very clearly rotation policy for its pace bowlers. The 48-year-old said cricket has changed a lot compared to when he played and fast bowlers lack aggression now. “Nowadays cricket is different and as a result I feel pace bowlers are more defensive minded now to counter the changed rules, broader bats and easy pitches. “In my days we always believed that aggression and attack was a must for fast bowlers and we got success.”
