A viral video of a young Pakistani boy bowling some terrific deliveries with a smooth action has been doing the rounds of social media on Wednesday.

The video, posted by Twitter user Faizan Ramzan, shows the young kid bowl some accurate in-swingers and out-swingers in a setting which can be described as the yard of a normal village house in Pakistan.

Faizan posted the video in the early hours of Wednesday with a caption saying: “I just received this video and don’t know about this brilliant kid, want to know your thoughts about this terrific bowling.” He had tagged the Twitter accounts of Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi and Rameez Raja.

The tweet has since garnered more than 4,500 likes and nearly 1,500 retweets within a short span as hundreds of Pakistan cricket fans seemed to be smitten by the kid’s pedigree at such a young age.

Wasim Akram, one of the all-time leading exponents of swing, has now responded to the video posted by Faizan.

“Where is this boy??? We have serious talent flowing through the veins of our nation and no platform for these kids to be discovered. It’s time we do something about it,” he wrote on Twitter.

Pakistan has a long history of producing some great pacers through their ranks, none greater than Akram himself. Others to emerge from the renowned fast-bowlers’ factory that is Pakistan are Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar.

The kid’s bowling action bears a huge resemblance to that of Mohammad Amir, the current flag-bearer of the Pakistan pace battery.

With a smooth action like that and such unnerving accuracy, the young boy seems destined for a big future if he can get access to the right facilities and training. We sure hope Wasim Akram can locate him so that one potential fast-bowling pearl does not go to waste.
