Legendry Wasim Akram blasts Pakistani cricket team and the selectors for Australia tour

*ISLAMABAD – Legendry Wasim Akram blasts Pakistani cricket team and theselectors for Australia tour.*

*It hasn’t been Pakistan’s day. They have been extremely poor in the field,the bowling has been average and it has been a carnage overall, *said WasimAkram while settling into the commentary box in the last session of the 2ndTest match.

Reflecting on the play on day one, Wasim Akram said that Pakistan is facingissues due to their selection.

The legendary fast bowler called out Pakistan’s selection committee andsaid:

I am alright with the introduction of one young player but to put them alltogether in a tour to Australia, I don’t know what the selection committeeis thinking.

He further went on to claim that the only young fast bowler he would haveplayed against Australia was Mohammad Hasnain.

He [Husnain] played for Pakistan in the T20Is and he should have been inthe Test squad. He is tall and he balls at a very good pace. At 19, he hasexperience in international cricket. Why did the selection committee notinclude him and instead took two players who have no experience?

Speaking about the bowling performance as a whole, Akram said Australiahave smashed Pakistan’s best bowler [Yasir Shah] all around the park andthey quick bowlers have been generally poor.

Until the 30th over during the first day of the 2nd Test match, Pakistanipacers had only bowled four deliveries which would have gone on to hit thestumps – all four were delivered by Shaheen Afridi, none from MohammadAbbas and Mohammad Musa.
