[Savak]

Does this mean that the likes of Junaid Khan, Sohail Tanvir have retired?

 

[the Great Khan]

I thought we already had these teams in place?

 

[Saj]

I'd heard Yasir Hameed was being lined up for a role. Must have been a change of mind by PCB.

 

[Local.Dada]

Kamran Akmal comes across as a shrewd and smart guy. One of those appearance can be deceptive types. I mean that in a good way.

Good luck to him.

 

[Savak]

I am always in favour of fresh faces. Kamran Akmal has played a lot of domestic cricket therefore he should be familiar with domestic players. Here is his opportunity to make a difference to Pakistan Cricket

 

[TeamPak95]

I'm expecting a lot of 'mere zamanay mai...' speeches from Kami towards these kids. Let's see how this goes, hopefully the right things are being taught at a younger age so that these kids rise up the ranks more better developed.

Mere zamanay mai catch pakarney pe cake katta jatha tha. Catch chorna tau roze ka kaam tha meera. Yaad rakna larko, wicket keeper gloves par saboon zaroor mal na

 

[Zaz]

Has Kamran "give me 2 chances to prove myself" even retired yet from intnl cricket?

 

[the Great Khan]

The akmals should be knowhere near the PCB. Remeber when he refused to play coz hus brother wasn't gonna be selected? Also his involvement with the 2010 scandal was murky..

He was a horrible keeper and a useless batter other than the early years..mental midget too..a reminder to us of an era when we had sone very poor journeymen cricketers..

 

[MenInG]

Shahid Afridi speaking on TV:

"Kamran is honest and hard-working. I think he is a good choice to select players at the junior level. He is bold and will not take any pressure in selection of players"
