Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram lashed out at the Pakistani batsmen for failing to score 120 runs against India at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday. Pakistan have lost their second match in a row in the T20 World Cup. This jeopardized the team’s progress, as it needed to win at least 3 matches to reach the Super 8 on its own. Wasim Akram was angered by the dismissal of some batsmen in the Pakistan team, but he has argued for changing the entire team.
Wasim Akram said on Star Sports, “He has been playing cricket for 10 years and I can’t teach him. Mohammad Rizwan has no knowledge of the game. He should know that Bumrah was given the ball to take a wicket.” And he was wise to play the ball cautiously, but Rizwan tried to hit a big shot and lost his wicket.” Mohammad Rizwan’s dismissal put the pressure on the Pakistan team and instead of recovering, the team was collapsing.
Akram also vented his anger on Iftikhar Ahmed and Fakhar Zaman, saying, “Iftikhar Ahmed only knows how to play one shot on the leg side. He has been part of the team for many years, but he doesn’t know how to bat. I like Fakhar. Zaman doesn’t know how to play.” Can’t say about awareness. Pakistani players feel that if they don’t perform well, the coach will be fired and nothing will happen to them. Now is the time. Keep the coach and change the whole team.
Akram also noted that ever since the change of captaincy, communication between Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam has stopped. Afridi got the captaincy from Babar Azam and the board made Babar the captain again. He said, “There are players who don’t want to talk to each other. This is international cricket and you play for your country. Sit these players at home.”
