Kamran Akmal flays Pakistan after loss to BAN
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Kamran Akmal noted that Pakistan had been failing consistently on multiple occasions. He pointed out that the team had lost to Zimbabwe, was kicked out of the Asia Cup, ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup in the last two years. He further said that if it wasn’t for Rizwan’s knock, Pakistan would have lost the first Test by an innings.
“You haven’t learned anything in the last 5 years. You lost to Zimbabwe. Last year, you were eliminated from Asia Cup. You were humiliated at the T20 World Cup. Made a complete mockery of Pakistan cricket,” Akmal said on his YouTube channel.
