		The biggest impact on Waqar's career, though, was arguably that of former skipper Imran Khan, who watched him on television in a domestic match and brought him into the Pakistan team in much the same way that Javed Miandad had spotted Akram in 1983 and pushed him straight into the Test arena.
		Waqar and Wasim, however, were accused of ball tampering during the tour and later of involvement in a match-fixing scandal that rocked cricket four years ago.
		Waqar got a fresh lease on life as captain in 2001, grabbing key wickets and leading by example until Pakistan was eliminated in the first round of the 2003 World Cup, his last tournament.
