Former Pakistan captain and fast bowler Wasim Akram asked country's cricket board to stop treating the national team players like school children in the name of discipline.
According to local media reports Wasim Akram said, “Our players unfortunately are being treated like schoolboys in the name of discipline and this is hurting their confidence and growth as professional sportsmen and persons. Having discipline is one thing but too much stress on it can also lead to some players losing confidence because of it”.
“If a player was confident he will then learn to bring discipline and hard work to his cricket and improve his skills and performances,” he added.
Recently, Akram has launched ‘Wasim Akram Foundation’ aimed at working for under-privileged children and to provide them education.
Pakistan would face a strong challenge in Sri Lanka where three tests, five ODIs and two T20 matches are that scheduled in June-July. The Pakistan’s national team is off to Colombo for the first Test series commencing from June 17.
