“The missing link in his bowling is discipline and he is over trying to get wickets.
“When you do the same thing again and again, like Shaheen is bowling to get his yorker going, then batsmen know that and they are ready for it.”
Jasprit Bumrah, who has bagged eight wickets in the World Cup so far has been excellent with his line and lengths. Waqar showered praise on the Indian speedster. He said: “Bumrah is creating pressure and his line is top of the off stump. He bowled so well against Pakan and created pressure to get wickets.”Most Read

Waqar feels injury to Naseem Shah might have had a detrimental effect on Shaheen’s performances so far.
“Naseem is a good bowler and doesn’t give many runs away. When Naseem creates pressure, batsmen take chances with other bowlers and they get wickets,” he said.
“I don’t think it’s because of missing just one bowler, but it’s because they are not keeping it simple.”
Pakan will take on Australia in Bengaluru on Friday.
