Akmal believes that Pakistani players play only for themselves and have nothing to do with the team. They are only focusing on their personal goals and if this continues then it will not be good for the team. This comment of the former player could be for captain Babar Azam, who scored a half-century in this match but batted very slowly. Because of this, the Green Army could not reach the figure of 200 and then they had to face defeat. While talking on his YouTube channel after the shameful defeat, Kamran has targeted the players.

He said, “When we try to play better cricket, we will become better. Players should not think about themselves but about the team and if this continues then we will keep losing to any team. I feel like all the players are only focusing on their personal goals, which is not good for the team at all. The team management needs to take some measures for this as soon as possible.”

Even though the former wicketkeeper batsman has not taken the name of any player during his discussion, his statement is being linked to Babar Azam. Babar batted slowly in this match and the result was that the team could score few runs less, which could prove to be decisive in the end. The right-handed batsman played a half-century innings of 56 runs in 43 balls in this match. During this period his strike rate was 132.56.
