While speaking to Cricbuzz, the former Pakistan coach said that he is not bothered by Kamran Akmal’s statements in the media against him. “Just look at what happened to Kamran Akmal. Kamran Akmal is a comfort zone player. He couldn’t field. Sarfraz Ahmed was captain. He wasn’t going to be the wicketkeeper. We took him on a West Indies tour and he was average at best. Kamran Akmal failed two fitness tests. So to be honest, anything that the Akmals say, I don’t listen to at all. Anything they say, I just take with a pinch of salt,” said Arthur. Last year in an interview, Kamran had slammed Arthur for ignoring deserving players under hi

Smith was concussed by a short-pitched delivery from Jofra Archer at Lord’s last year and was also bounced out several times by New Zealand speedster Neil Wagner last summer. The top-ranked Test batsman can expect similar treatment from India but McDonald is unfazed by the prospect, pointing out that Smith bounced back from the Lord’s concussion with a double century at Old Trafford. “Even in one-day cricket and T20 cricket, he’s been able to score runs with that plan being adopted by opponents,” said McDonald. “So, I don’t necessarily see it as a weakness ... they (India) can keep approaching it that way if they w

England last toured Pakistan in 2005 when they played three Tests and five One-Day Internationals. The subsequent series
