One of the finest pace bowlers of all time, Brett Lee, has stated that he wants to work on the bowling of Taskin Ahmed. Lee, who took over 700 wickets in the international arena and bowled over 140ks even in the final stages of his career, wants to help the struggling pacer of the Tigers.

Taskin’s poor form led him to be dropped from the third match of the Nidahas Trophy, something that disappointed the former Australian pacer. He stated that he wants to see the pacer in the next game and confirmed that he shall give him some words of advice prior to it.

‘Some [Bangladeshi] pacers have good speed, like Taskin Ahmed,’ Lee said during the India-Bangladesh game.

‘He has been kept out of the game [against India]. I think that he lacks self-confidence. He is a good young pacer that is intelligent. He is a smart kid and I am interested in seeing how he moves forward with his career.’

‘I heard that he can bowl quick. I am little disappointed that he isn’t playing today [against India]. I hope we will see him in the next game. He is a bowler on whom I can work. I will speak to him.

Finally, he claimed that he wants to see the right-handed speedster bowl well.

‘Bowlers will be defined by their bowling. So they have to practice and have a clear mindset. I am eager to see Taskin bowl well.’
