“I even had dreams when I met Mickey Arthur and Sarfaraz Ahmad, and sometimes they chose me and rejected me at other times,” he said.
“About ten days ago, I had a dream that Inzi bhai (Inzamam-ul-Haq, the chief selector) called me and told me that I had been selected, and this is my last chance, and that’s exactly what happened to me has been called and informed of the decision, and for a player with the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, that’s nothing but a win or a loss. “
Wahab’s selection was also partly due to the poor performance of the Pakistani bowler in the series against England. In three of the four games played, Pakistan allowed England to score more than 350, and did not defend 340 on another occasion. This prompted Inzamam-ul-Haq’s selection committee to turn to the left. poorer’s experience – he also had a stay at Derbyshire in the T20 Blast.
“I’ve worked hard over the last two years and matured as a bowler,” Wahab said. “I’ve learned a lot and the results are visible to everyone, you can not judge anyone by a game, I’m a bowler and there’s a chance I can go for 60, 70 or 80 runs and it’s happened in the past too. But that does not mean that I have lost my skills and abilities. “
Wahab was Pakistan’s most successful bowler at the 2015 World Cup with 16 goals from seven games. In a game against Zimbabwe, which you absolutely must win, he achieved a performance of 54 *, followed by a 4:45 success. In the quarter-final against Australia, he sat through one of the great World Cup Proverbs and dismissed David Warner and Michael Clarke. He then impressed Shane Watson with a series of short balls.
Wahab remembered this spell and said, “Since the pitches are calm and the conditions for hitting are favorable, it will be necessary to be aggressive, otherwise the batsmen will dominate you, if a batsman humiliates me, I will do what I do have done day. “
Wahab was an expert in backward swinging, suggesting that the skill would be crucial in English conditions. “Variations and backswing are the key to death, because conditions in England are dry and the wickets are tough, there will be backswing, and the team that does it better will have the advantage I have experience in the backswing, so I will to try it.” to restrict the flow of runs in the last few overs. “
