Former Pakistan captain and head coach Waqar Younis has lauded chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq for selecting young talent for the team’s ongoing tour to the West Indies.
The former fast bowler took to Twitter to praise Inzamam for “doing the job which other selectors were reluctant to do”.
“Delighted 2 c Inzamam doing the job which other selectors were reluctant 2 do. Picking young players! Shadab, Hassan, Rumman,” Waqar tweeted.

A few days ago, the ex-coach had criticised the selection of veteran cricketer Kamran Akmal, saying that the decision to play the 35-year-old who had never fielded without his gloves was a step backward.
Picking 35 years old who have never been on the cricket field without WK gloves is a bizarre decision #NoLogic #MovingBackward #WIvPAK

Pakistan defeated West Indies by seven wickets in the fourth and final T20 on Sunday, guided by match-winning performances by Hassan Ali and Ahmed Shehzad. The Green Shirts finished the series 3-1 and will next play the hosts in the three-match ODI series starting April 7.
