With no international or domestic cricket going on due to the Coronavirus pandemic, former and current cricket stars are keeping themselves busy with different activities.

While some are engaging with fans on social media, some are picking their all-time XIs and favourite players from the past and modern-day cricket.

Recently, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram featured on former teammate Basit Ali’s Youtube show and enlisted the best fast bowlers of his era.

“There were Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh from West Indies. Glenn McGrath was also there. Allan Donald was also another great bowler. I mean these guys were all good,” Akram, who himself was among the top pacers in the 1990s, said.

As he took Donald’s name, Wasim was reminded of an unfortunate incident that occurred when he was playing county cricket in England for Lancashire.

The left-arm pace legend narrated how an express delivery from the South African left him with twenty stitches under his chin.

“I have twenty stitches here, right under my chin. I think the year was 1989 and I had gone out to bat at number 8 on an uneven pitch. He bowled a short delivery and he bowled easily in excess of 150 kilometers per hour. I was also a youngster in my early twenties and I tried to pull the ball. It hit the top edge of the bat and hit me under the chin.

“I had a psyche for revenge as I knew I will not leave this bowler. I went to the hospital and the dentist had to put ten stitches on the inside and ten on the outside as it was a deep cut. I was asked to take rest for a couple of days but I said I want to got out there and bowl. I bowled in the evening and we won the match and interestingly Donald never came out to bat as he was scared,” Akram reminisced.
