I told coach Greg Chappell and captain Rahul Dravid that either they can come to the Academy in Lahore or I can come there. My offer still stands," Sarfraz said at a press conference. The former Pakistani Test bowler is in the city on a brief coaching assignment on the invitation of Delhi and District Cricket Association. Sarfraz, who has the distinction of scoring 1000 runs and taking 100 wickets, said he would be happy to share his knowledge of reverse swing with the budding Indian bowlers. "With destiny's blessings, I was able to do it without tampering the ball," said the bowler who is considered the pioneer of the art of reverse swing. "It needs slight modification in action. One needs to rotate the ball at high speed."
