Razzaq again said that he never wanted to degrade Bumrah’s bowling skills and that his statement had been blown out of proportion. The 43 year old also drew a parallel to his own early days in the team when he was considered a “baby” in comparison statement with a great bowler Akram.

“Maine ye kabhi nhi kaha ki Bumrah acha bowler nhi hai. Par jab aap unhe Wasim Akram, Glenn MacGrath see compare karenge to unhe baby bowler na kahu to aur kya kahu. Jab main team main aaya tha, main bhi bachcha tha Wasim Akram ke samne ( I never said he was not a good bowler. My statement was blown out of proportion. When you compare Bumrah with Glenn McGrath, Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar, what would I call him else? When I was new in the team I was also a baby in comparison to Wasim Akram),” the Lahore-born cricketer finished.
