Kamran Akmal: “Mohammad Wasim and [the] selectors, what they have done to the domestic sides? If players can’t make their way into the national side, should they also not play domestic?”

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal has slammed former chief selector Mohammad Wasim for ruining domestic cricket in the country.
Specifically, Akmal took aim at Wasim for lacking logic when it comes to picking the domestic teams.
He noted that many senior players are absent, even though they are trying to get back into the Pakistan team.
The 40-year-old asked how these players will get back on the national selectors’ radar if they are not playing domestic cricket.
“Mohammad Wasim and [the] selectors, what they have done to the domestic sides? If players can’t make their way into the national side, should they also not play domestic?” Akmal told Cricket Pakistan.
Pakistan are currently playing two Tests against New Zealand. The first match, which was held in Karachi, finished as a draw.
