New Delhi, July 27 - Former fast bowler Wasim Akram, who made appealing a fine art during his playing days to win marginal decisions, now wants to teach how to appeal convincingly to young Indian fast bowlers.

Akram has been roped in by city-based Gatorade Centre for Pace Excellence (GCPE) as the chief coach for bowling variation and strategy.

'I will teach them how to appeal. That is also an art that keeps the umpires under pressure in a legal way,' Akram said here Monday.

Akram went on to add that his primary role will be to teach the kids how to identify a batsman's weaknesses, especially when they are bowling on the flat, sub-continental pitches.

'I'll also tell them how to bowl according to a set field and how to swing the new ball and get the best out of the old ball, which the westerners call reverse swing. Besides, how to break a partnership. And how to contain when situation so demands will also be discussed,' he added.
