Srinagar: Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal has lashed out at Mohammad Rizwan for his lack of game awareness and termed him as non captaincy material.
Akmal, while speaking at on a sports show, lashed Rizwan over his leadership skills and opined that he does not deserve any authority.
“If the Pakistan Cricket Board has the courage, they should make a firm decision and never give such powers to him again. He is simply not captain material,” said Akmal.
Akmal was specifically critical of Rizwan’s leadership during their Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 match against Peshawar Zalmi, which saw the home side being swept away by seven runs and 42 balls to spare.
“The way he set up the team against Peshawar and the manner in which they played was beyond comprehension,” he said.
“Now, after what happened against Peshawar Zalmi, everyone is talking,” he added.
Multan Sultans got off to a dismal start to PSL 10 as they suffered a four-wicket defeat at the hands of Karachi Kings in the campaign opener.
They lost two more matches against defending champions Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi before eventually registering their first triumph in the six-team tournament when they crushed Lahore Qalandars at home by 33 runs.
The former champions, however, could not stretch their winning run any further and lost four matches in a row to get officially knocked out of the PSL 10 playoffs race.
