“We have like three, I would say, one of the best pace bowling options in today’s game with Shaheen, Naseem and Haris. It reminds me of that 1990s troika [including Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis],” he said.
Javed, however, admitted that the current batch of fast bowlers have a long way to go in order to match the feats of the legendary bowlers.
“I think reaching at that level, they still have time, but they have all the ability to repeat those sort of performances. So, [we are] pretty much confident and when you play against India, it’s a special feeling and they will bring something very special tomorrow,” he said.
