New Zealand’s Boult names Pakistan bowling legend as his inspiration

New Zealand fast-bowler Trent Boult has named former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram as one of his cricket inspirations.

The left-arm pacer held an interactive session on the social media website Instagram in which he was replied to some questions asked by his fans in a question and answer session.

The 31-year-old said that he was inspired to become a swing bowler after watching Akram.

The Lahore-born, who is considered one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time, represented his country in 460 fixtures and 916 wickets.
