Afridi not doing well as captain in NZ, says Akram

Karachi, January 01: Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram feels that Shahid Afridi’s leadership in the ongoing New Zealand tour has not been up to the mark and the players were also not performing to their abilities.

Akram told a television channel that Pakistan lost the Twenty20 series in New Zealand because the players were not playing as a unit and if they continue like this it will be difficult to make an impact in World Cup starting next month.

“Because the team is not playing as one they are facing many problems and their performances are suffering,” he said.

“One saw a lack of leadership in the team and the players also did not play to their ability and if they continue playing this way then they will also lose the Test and ODI series in New Zealand,” the former left-arm pacer said.
