Legendary Wasim Akram comes to Ahmed Shehzad's defense

Pakistan bowling great Wasim Akram has come out in support of opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad, saying that the batsman still got enough in the tank.

“I don’t know why people are against Ahmed Shahzad, he is still young, he is still playing good cricket, if he is having an off form, I have no problem with it,” Wasim said, while talking to the media.

Shehzad remains one of the most talented players the country has to offer, however, his recent performance on the field has raised concerns among Pakistani cricket fans.

Akram, however, remained optimistic regarding Shehzad and was not concerned with the ongoing opinion. “I am not concerned with people and their criticism,” he said.

Earlier, Pakistan's former captain Shahid Afridi suggested that Shehzad should concentrate on playing his natural game. “I feel if he plays his natural game, he will perform better. Meanwhile, if he starts defensive cricket, he can’t perform,” Afridi claimed.
