Waqar, who was not looking a happy man, said, “Pakistan have no option but to play Kamran Akmal as he gives us an extra dimension of batting in the top order”.
It has been reported by the TSE that Kamran Akmal would open the batting with Mohammad Hafeez in place of Ahmad Shehzad against Australia.
A circle in the Pakistani media was reporting that Kamran Akmal would be axed from the squad for the game against Australia but Waqar said there is no truth in these reports.
Waqar Younis doesn’t look happy with the Akmal brothers as in the press conference after Pakistan’s victory against Zimbabwe, the Pakistani coach had said that Umar Akmal has more than one problems.
During the dinner, Waqar Younis looked unhappy over something and was seen aloof while team manager Intikhab Alam and skipper Shahid Khan Afridi got mixed up with the participants.
It is important to mention here that in a bid to make Kamran Akmal play in the team Umar Akmal faked a finger injury following which team management was left with no option but to play Kamran in the match against Zimbabwe.
Now, Umar Akmal would join the team for Australia clash and bat in the middle order, while his brother Kamran would open the innings for Pakistan. Ahmad Shehzad is the unlucky man to lose his place in the side on this occasion.
