Akram is hopeful that Indian fast bowlers like Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj will adopt sensible tactics on the field.According to the ICC, Akram said, “Indian bowlers are very experienced and they should not be misled (when the new ball comes in hand). We all know that from 10 to 15 overs the ball swings, so as a fast bowler don’t go for extra runs in the first 10 to 15 overs. Not needed because that’s what Australians want.
