It depends on your action and your stock ball. If you have a front-on action, it will be harder to swing the ball as your wrist is naturally pointed to third man. It is not impossible though, just point the seam towards fine leg and you'll start seeing some inswing. Either way, the seam should always be upright (cutting through the air, if you will) I suggest that this is your first task%3A make sure that you're bowling with an upright seam. Seeing that you're from pakistan, i can imagine that generating swing is always going to be more challenging because of the dry air. Feel free to get in contact if you want more tips!
