Kamran Akmal Dropped From Pakistan Team In T20:Beleaguered wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has been dropped from the Pakistan squad for two Twenty20 internationals against England in Dubai later this month.
Akmal came under severe criticism for his poor performance in recent Test series against Australia.
Sarfraz Ahmed, who replaced Akmal for the third Test in Australia, but did not feature in either five one-day internationals or the T20 game, was named as Pakistan wicketkeeper on Monday.
Pakistan’s regular Twenty20 captain, Shahid Afridi, will miss the first game in Dubai after he was banned for two matches for ball tampering during the fifth one-day international against Australia.
Shoaib Malik, who led Pakistan in the only T20 game against Australia, was retained as captain for the short series against England.
