On this very special episode, I have the absolute privilege and honour of talking to and gaining incredible insights from not only the best left arm fast bowler of all time but one one of the greatest bowlers in cricket history, Wasim Akram. I have been so lucky to have spent time with Wasim over the last five years in the Pakistan Super League, where he has been the mentor of one of my teams, Islamabad United.
