Pakistan pacer Mohammad Irfan aims to replicate Wasim Akram's 1992 World Cup heroics

Pakistan pace bowler Mohammad Irfan said that he is looking forward to replicate legend Wasim Akram's stellar performance during the 1992 World Cup in the 2015 version in Australia and New Zealand.

Irfan, who idolizes Akram, said that it was his 'dream and wish' to emulate the legendary paceman's achievement which paved the way for Pakistan's World Cup triumph 22 years ago, the Dawn reported.

The giant pacer, who had an impressive series against Australia and New Zealand, added that with tips from Wasim and head coach Waqar Younis, he was trying to develop 'new armoury' in his bowling, the report added.

Left-arm pacer Akram displayed a top-class pace and swing bowling performance during the 1992 World Cup. He took 18 wickets including his memorable match-winning 3-49 show in the final against England at Melbourne.
