Wasim Akram says T20 series in Australia will be challenging

Wasim Akram has warned that the conditions in Australia are tough and that the Pakistan series there will be challenging.

He noted that if they manage to win even one ODI, it would be a significant success, while he anticipates a good T20 series.

During an online press conference in Melbourne, Wasim Akram has remarked that India is sending positive signals regarding the Champions Trophy.

He adds that the Pakistan Cricket Board has made several offers to the Indian board, encouraging them to visit Pakistan.

The former captain says said that Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Surya Kumar Yadav have a lot of fans in Pakistan.

He says that he has not been to India since 6, 7 years. He remembers the food and people there, Indian players will enjoy if they come to Pakistan.

The former fast bowler says said Fakhar Zaman is an impact player and doubted he wrote the social media statement himself.

He has emphasized that whoever authored the statement should have informed him about potential issues concerning the central contract.

Fakhar Zaman should learn from this and consider his social media posts carefully, as the PCB has previously expressed their displeasure over similar issues.

Wasim Akram praises Mohsin Naqvi for his excellent contributions to cricket and says that he isn’t suited for a 9 to 5 role despite receiving a job offer.

He says that Mohammad Rizwan has captaincy experience, he is a good choice, he should just focus on the game.

Wasim Akram found the criticism of creating home advantage pitches incomprehensible, stating, “We don’t need enemies.

He stated that for the past five or six years, he has been advocating for creating turning pitches.

He remarkes that someone finally implemented the idea, leading to two consecutive Test match victories after three consecutive losses.

Wasim Akram is happy that young players can prepare for the 2026 T20 World Cup.

He urges cricketers like Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah to focus on their game.

He says that leave social media, go home and enjoy playing cricket, Babar Azam should also forget captaincy.
