Speed se kuch nahi hota - Shaheen Afridi on whether he wants to bowl as quick as Umran Malik Ferguson

Shaheen Afridi (L) and Umran Malik. (P.C.:Twitter & iplt20.com) Pakistan left-arm pacer has built a reputation for striking with the new ball across formats. He was particularly sensational in Tests in 2021 and was also named Sir Garfield Sobers men's Test cricketer of the year. Speedsters and bowled with some unreal pace in the recently-concluded IPL 2022 season. On being asked in a press conference whether Afridi intended to take his pace to their level, the 22-year-old stated that pace is of no use without line and length. Practice Nets - My happy space!Practice Nets - My happy space! Shaheen Afridi explained to reporters why swinging the ball is as important to beat batters as pace is. He also revealed that he is working on increasing his pace so that he becomes even more effective with his line, length and swing. Here's what he had to say: "Speed se kuch nahi hota (speed is of no use). I haven't thought about bowling so fast. I personally believe, speed is of no use. If you don't have line, length and swing, you can't beat the batter easily. Nevertheless, I try to focus on my fitness so that my pace can also increase. Hopefully, I will be able to generate more pace and my line and length will also get better." Big, deserved words for Umran Malik from a legend of the game. ?
