The washout in Group A match of the T20 World Cup between USA and Ireland in Florida on Thursday pushed Pakistan out of T20 World Cup 2024 in the first stage itself. The sorry exit of 2009 champions angered the nation and led to a scathing criticism of Babar Azam's team. Amid that, the hypothesis of former wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal, with India's batting legend Virat Kohli central to the context, is both interesting as well as an admission of Pakistan's past mistakes.
Speaking on a TV show in Pakistan, Kamran suggested that had his brother Umar Akmal been backed and promoted, he could have done things like Virat Kohli has done for India despite not being even close to the kind of talent Kohli possesses.
