The best left-hand swing bowler of all time. A genuine pace bowler who could swing the bowl both sides at ease. Also known as 'Sultan of Swing', he could murder any batting attack at will.

Wasim Akram was the only Pakistani cricketer to be named in an all-time Test World XI to mark the 150th anniversary of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. He took 414 wickets at an average of 22.64 which is enviable by any standard. A useful batsman, he could bat easily against spin and pace.
