Former Pakistani captain and pace bowler Wasim Akram said that cricketers from Asia were more raw as compared to their counterparts from Australia or England.
"Our batsmen are more wristy players, play aggressive and do not listen to their coach," he said.
In his own career he had learnt a lot from his peers like Imran Khan and Waqar Younis, he said.
The Pakistani fast bowler, who has taken 414 wickets in Tests and 502 in ODIs, endorsed the introduction of youth into national teams irrespective of their age.
"I have always been of the opinion that if someone is good enough he should be in the side. If for example a player enters the national squad at age 18 then by the time he is 22 he has had four years of valuable experience," Akram said.
