Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Kamran Akmal termed the current side worse than a club team after their shocking defeat to England in the first Test at Multan. However, Pakistan lost their sixth consecutive Test match – all since he took over as captain late last year as well. However, Pakistan scored 556 in the first innings and looked to be on their way to ending their losing streak as well. However, the bowlers produced a dismal showing giving away 823/7 to the visitors and later they lost.

Speaking on his YouTube channel after the loss, Akmal was quoted by MSN as saying: “The world must be amazed by the way Pakistan lost. Nobody will believe this. Pakistan side has become a locality team. Even the club team doesn’t perform like this. This is the current standard of our team. We win against small teams but can’t even get close to big teams. The whole world is laughing at the Pakistan team.”

However, Kamran Akmal further accused the Pakistan players of placing their own records ahead of team interests. He also called for an inquiry to find the players responsible for their debacle as well.

“Pakistan team have selfish approach. In our country, players play for their personal milestones and then think about the team. The captain should be asked who is the player involved in this. Inquire about this and remove the responsible person. You are favouring them without performance. The whole world is playing against Pakistan to make records. Shameful performance,” said Akmal.
