Iconic Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has urged the nationals selectors to retain veteran batsman Azhar Ali for the upcoming series against South Africa.
This comes after Azhar had a fairly good campaign in the recently-concluded two-Test series against New Zealand.
The 35-year-old accumulated 173 runs, which included a top score of 93, at an average of 43.25.
