Pakistan pace bowler Mohammad Irfan said that he is looking forward to replicate legend Wasim Akram's stellar performance during the 1992 World Cup in the upcoming ICC's pinnacle tournament.

Irfan, who idolizes Akram, said that it was his dream and wish to emulate the legendary paceman's achievement which paved the way for Pakistan's World Cup triumph 22 years ago, the Dawn reported.

Irfan, who had an impressive series against Australia and New Zealand, added that with tips from Wasim and head coach Waqar Younis, he was trying to develop new armoury in his bowling, the report added.

Left-arm pacer Akram displayed a top-class pace and swing bowling performance during the 1992 World Cup. He took 18 wickets in the spectacle, including his memorable match-winning 3-49 show in the final against England at Melbourne.
