Yasir Jan is greatly inspired by bowling legend Shoaib Akhter, Brett Lee and Dale Steyn and he enjoy fast bowling just like other pacer do. After watching Mohammad Amir bowl in 2009 was great motivation for Yasir Jan, he started playing cricket after that. According to Yasir, it will take him 9 months of hard work to transfer his raw talent to skillful pacer. Yasir Jan discovered his talent when he was young. He started bowling with his right arm and left arm. Without any exercise and practice, he is capable of bowling fast with both arms.
