Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar believes that batsman Iftikhar Ahmed shouldn’t be in the T20 team.
Instead of Iftikhar, Akhtar feels it would be better if Pakistan “play a proper batsman who can accelerate”.
This comes after Iftikhar batted just once in the two matches he played in the three-match T20 series against England.
While he struck eight not out in the one innings he batted, it came at a strike-rate of 88.88.
“Instead of Iftikhar you should play a proper batsman who can accelerate,” Akhtar said on his YouTube channel as quoted by PakPassion.
