Ashwin Must Guard Against Complacency, Says Akram

New Delhi, Nov 10: Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram praised Indian off-spinner R Ashwin for his excellent Test debut against the West Indies, in which he finished with a nine-wicket haul, but warned him against becoming complacent.

"What I like about Ashwin is that he is not scared of flighting the ball, not just in Tests, but in T20s and ODI cricket too. He has got the variety, he has the carom ball, the quicker one and an easy action," said Akram.

"Ashwin is young and his height allows him to get extra bounce. He bowled excellently in the second innings."

With a nine-wicket haul, including six in the second innings, Ashwin became only the third cricketer to get a Man of the Match award on debut.
