Akmal also talked about excluding Sarfaraz Khan, who was scoring a lot domestically.

There is always a debate about one or two players. One player that comes to my mind after watching the tapes is Sarfaraz Khan. It was impossible to play him, but he had to go with the team. You could have let him know that we’re not ignoring you, and there’s always a chance you’ll show up in the future. There was a perfect tour to include him in the lineup, he said.

The former wikiper also shared his thoughts on the selection of Umran Malik and said: Umran Malik, with his pace, could be deadly. The field in the West Indies is dry, and with the Dukes ball, there would be a reverse swing, he added.
