Pakistan coach Aaqib Javed backs pace trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. Pakistan face India in Champions Trophy final on Sunday in Dubai. India beat Bangladesh by six wickets in their first match on a slow wicket. Pakistan lost their tournament opener to New Zealand in Karachi, and a loss on Sunday would severely dent their chances of making the semifinals. Javed: \”We have like three, I would say, one of the best pace bowling options in today’s game. It reminds me of that 1990s troika (including Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis),” said Javed, however, admitted that the current batch of fast bowlers have a long way to go in order to match the feats of the legendary bowlers. He denied Rohit Sharma’s team any game in a game in the nature of the surface in Dubai, saying India has an extra advantage having played there before.
