Everybody is not Virat Kohli.
Everbody is not Multi Tasker.
These two boys off field life gets discussed because it does affect their Cricketing Life.
When 17-18 years years old UA toured Australia with Pakistan A in 2008-2009 it was considered the toughest tour. He stunned both the Pcb aswell as the Aussies on that tour and achieved what no Pak A player achieved in away tours of Eng, SA, Aus, Nz, WI in last 60 years.
When you stop reading, when your work ethic regresses, when your focus is diverted than it affects your development, you become static mentally, you do not mature, your performces suffer. So you need to strike a balance.
UA & Amir were the most exciting talents posts 2000. Wrt batting UA was most exciting talent since 1990 when Inzamam made debut for Pak. While Amir exists somehow where is UA ?
Anyhow One can expect for better.
can we not make an exception for Umar Akmal and give him one last series. Ask him what number he wants to bat on, and let em eat all them curries...fitness is clearly not his thing (its was also never a thing for Inzi either). I am not saying that Umar Akmal has Inzi's greatness, but hey just like how you said 'we need to strike a balance', then may be the team management need to strike a balance in case of Umar Akmal..
One things for sure, when UA was on song, he was a treat to watch even on fast bouncy tracks...
