Wasim Akram, former Pakistan left-arm fast bowler, was called the 'Sultan of Swing' in his cricketing career spanning over a decade and half. On Wednesday, Akram posted a video on Twitter showing a young boy swinging the cricket ball just like the famous cricketer. The video shows the boy swinging in Akram's style outside his house and hitting the stumps placed against the wall.
Tweeting the video, Akram wrote: 'Where is this boy??? We have serious talent flowing through the veins of our nation and no platform for these kids to be discovered. It's time we do something about it #TheFutureOfCricketIsWithOurYouth'.

While, Akram's wife Shaniera Akram also took to Twitter to praise the unknown boy's talent in cricket and wrote: 'Another Wasim Akram maybe?'
