Former Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar has asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) to remove restrictions on the number of bouncers that can be bowled in the wake of two drawn Tests in the ongoing Pakistan v Australia three-match series.
Akhtar, who has the fastest recorded legal delivery in Test cricket, added that modern-day cricketers are soft and that he was keen to hurt batsmen in his playing days. “Nowadays, they [cricketers] are very soft.
