The Rawalpindi Express may not possess his speed of old, but he has done well to maintain his accuracy, as can be seen in the video.
The 46-year old is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous bowlers to grace the game. He holds the world record for the fastest delivery in the history of cricket and has terrorized many world-class batters during his playing days.
Shoaib retired from cricket in 2011 after an illustrious career. He picked up 178 Test wickets, 247 ODI wickets, and 19 T20I wickets with exceptional averages in all three formats in an international career spanning over 14 years.
