The 27-year old Pakistani cricketer, who is not consistent enough to get the berth in Pakistan cricket team as a regular member after being dropped from the side years back, is actually quite punctual when it comes to making his way into headlines through scandals and controversies. The latest of all is about once touted as the future of Pakistan cricket, Akmal alleging former Pakistan Cricket coach, Waqar Younis of ending his career after he refused to do the wicket-keeper role.

The fame host inquired about his role as the wicketkeeper in the side with even having the specialists keeper in the playing XI, the Lahore Qalandars cricketer went on elaborating by even telling what made a hindrance to his career.

Ignore, if Kamran Akmal talk like this that would make more sense. At least he is performing. He has to perform but he didn’t in some time.

Waqar should be awarded Tamgha-e-Imtiaz for this. He had done something which was in national interest
