Legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram has accused fellow left-armers Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz of being more interested in making money than representing their country.

Akram slammed the duo for not playing for Pakistan in the ongoing Test series against Australia and instead opting to play in domestic competitions where they can earn lucrative contracts.

Amir retired from Test cricket in July this year, while Wahab took a break from red-ball cricket in September.

However, Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis recently said that he had retired from Test cricket.

Wahab is currently playing for the Cape Town Blitz in the Mzansi Super League, which is South Africa’s domestic Twenty20 tournament.
