Saqlain Mushtaq to work with West Indian spinners at three week camp

Tue, Aug 27, '13

Saqlain Mushtaq, the Pakistani off-spinner, is generally credited with the discovery of the much acclaimed "Doosra" delivery and some of the most memorable moments of Pakistani cricket. His outstanding record for Pakistan is a matter of pride for his countrymen. His international career spanned 49 Test matches and 169 One-Day Internationals (ODIs), in which he picked up 208 and 288 wickets respectively, finishing with a Test average of 29.83 and an ODI average just under 22. With these incredible figures in a career hampered and later cut short by injuries, he also has the distinct honour of being the fastest Pakistani bowler to reach 100 Test wickets as well as 100, 150, 200 and 250 ODI wickets.

With experience of that calibre to back his proven coaching skills, it is no surprise that Saqlain is in great demand throughout the world. Speaking to PakPassion.net, Saqlain confirmed that he is now set to provide his insights into the art of spin bowling in a training camp for West Indies players in Barbados.
