Wasim Akram (Punjabi (Punjabi language), lang-urNastaliq???? ????; born 3 June 1966) is a former Pakistani (Pakistan) left arm fast bowler (fast bowling) and left handed batsman in cricket, who represented the Pakistan national cricket team in Test cricket and One Day International matches.

Akram is regarded as one of the best fast bowlers in cricket. He holds the world record for most wickets in List A cricket with 881 and is second only to Sri Lankan (Sri Lanka national cricket team) off-spin bowler, Muttiah Muralitharan in terms of One Day International wickets with 502. He is considered to be one of the founders and perhaps the finest exponent of reverse swing (Reverse_swing#Reverse_swing) bowling.Wasim Akram. Cricinfo.com.
