Akram didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Pakistan Cricket Team, pointing out internal communication issues and their failure to chase down a seemingly manageable target.
He particularly singled out Rizwan for his reckless shot selection against Bumrah. According to Akram, the team needs a significant overhaul, with a focus on improving game awareness among players like Rizwan.
Akram observed a sense of complacency among Pakistani players, where they believed underperforming would only lead to changes in coaching staff rather than impacting their positions.
He suggested retaining the coaches while advocating for a complete overhaul of the team to address the underlying issues.
