Pakistan I will start with my own country, we have had quality players up until mid 2000 with Inzi/Younis/Yousuf at the crease you could always expect to see some spectacular Shots and on the other hand Shoaib Akhtar steaming in with the likes of Danish Kaneria/Asif/Rana Naveed was also fascinating.
Pakistan will never lack in talent, that is for sure. Everyday, if one walks out on a Pakistani street after the noon, He will observe people of all ages, from 5-30 Playing Cricket.
In Pakistan, bowling is the priority for many people as it seems such an exciting job to do perhaps because of the Legends born in this Country, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar are all inspiration for us.
Even today, when we have lost our Duo (The A-A) we still have backup, there are a bunch of bowlers waiting for chance, many have been given the chance but sadly our management and perhaps the fans too can not be patient with a Player, it is absolutely necessary for the debutant to perform in his early games or else he is not persisted with and the management and fans move ahead but the Real Talent does not hide for a lot of time.
1) Umar Akmal - Fans had lots of hope with him after he played some astonishing innings in the beginning of his career i.e Australia series IIRC, he has potential but requires grooming especially he lacks temperament.
Agree.
2) Fawad Alam - The guy is the victim of politics in the management, he has a lot of potential, scoring quite a lot of runs in domestic and has been the highest run-scorer this year, His average is the highest ever in Pakistan Domestic (Javed Miandad comes afterwards) but due to his 'ugly' playing style, fans are not convinced. In my opinion, he has a lot of potential if the management persists with him.
Slightly agree, though I think he just not ugly has some technical issues aswell.
3) Junaid Khan - A replacement for Muhammad Amir, People had a lot of expectations from him after he performed brilliantly in First Class Cricket. He was not given a chance in the WC after he got 3 wickets for 7 overs against England in a warm-up match.
He was not very impressive against Windies but has been impressing since then, i.e against Ireland and in the County.
A very average bowler.
4) Sohail Khan - Pace bowler, performing since quite some time and was also given a chance but at the dead wicket in Lahore. Been the victim of injuries due to his injury prone body/action.
See Juanid.
Otherwise Raza Hasan(the best young talent in country hope he gets groomed well) is a Left Arm spin bowler, performing quite well in the domestic circuit but needs some time, likewise, Zain Abbas(decent potential still too soon to say anything let him have atleast one full season)/Sharjeel Khan(rubbish)/Umar Amin(best young batsman in Pakistan,rate him much higher then Umer Akmal) are a few good batsmen spotted as the future Stars People may also consider Wahab Riaz as Legend Material too but in my opinion he is not a new version of Muhammad Sami - Extras.
I will add whenever I feel like there is a new Future star.
played sir!
