Umar Akmal, a national cricket player, is optimistic about his brother Kamran’s future as a selector for the men’s national squad.

According to Umar, Kamran is very knowledgeable about cricket and will offer youngsters fair opportunity.

“Kamran has always been very kind to not only me but all the cricketers. Everybody learns from him,” he said.

“I am sure he will give fair chances to players. I wish him best of luck,” he added.

In response to a question regarding making a comeback for the national team after Kamran took over as selector, Umar stated he has confidence in his work and will let his bat speak for itself.

“I never tied hope with anyone. I always believe in Allah and my performance. I will try to perform and make a comeback,” he shared.

Yasir Hameed, Mohammad Sami, and Kamran were recently named to the national selection committee, which is presided over by former Test cricketer Haroon Rasheed.

Umar, a member of the Quetta Gladiators team, is looking forward to the exhibition game against Peshawar Zalmi that will take place on February 5 at Bugti Stadium in Quetta.

“It’s an exciting moment for all of us. We are ready to see Quetta people in the ground,” he said.

“All the players are excited about this match. We will try to play competitive cricket tomorrow,” he added.

The middle-order batter said fans should come and fill the stadium.

“Come to stadium and support both teams. It will show soft image of Pakistan in the world,” he concluded.

It should be mentioned that an exhibition game between the Peshawar Zalmi of Babar Azam and Sarfaraz Ahmed’s Gladiators will take place in the lead-up to Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8, which is set to take place in Karachi, Multan, Rawalpindi, and Lahore from February 13 to March 19.
