Whither Akmal?

Great article, Osman. Here is what I think: Akmal can improve tremendously if he is benched for a period of time and Sarfraz is given a few matches. Athletes thrive under pressure - and Akmal has shown that with his batting. I am sure once Akmal is put under the gun viz-a-viz his wicket keeping, he will get his act together. A fair amount of competition is needed to get the true Akmal out, instead of letting complacency take hold permanently as it is done currently by giving him a free pass for life. Pakistan cricket is in a sad state of affair and wicket-keeping controversy doesn't seem to be at the top of everyone's mind.
