Pakistan won the first test by an innings and 116 runs, to take 1-0 lead in the two-match series.<\/p>\n<p>Akhtar, who holds the record for bowling the fastest delivery in world cricket, wants to see pacer Shahnawaz and leg-spinner Zahid in the Pakistan lineup.<\/p>\n<p>Akhtar, who took 178 wickets in 46 Tests, said that Dahani\u2019s inclusion would<br \/>\ndepend on whether Shaheen Afridi wants to rest or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShahnawaz Dahani can be given a chance but you need to ask Shaheen Afridi if he wants to rest. What if Shaheen doesn\u2019t want to rest? There are already only few Test matches on offer and, if I was asked the same question, I would have played,\u201d he said while speaking on PTV Sports as quoted by cricketpakistan.com.pk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no harm in trying out against Zimbabwe. I think Dahani and Zahid Mehmood should be given a chance in the next Test match,\u201d Akhtar, who bagged 247 wickets in 163 One Day Internationals, said.<\/p>\n<p>Zahid was the third highest wicket-taker, during the last season of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, with 52 wickets in 10 matches.
