Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batsman Kamran Akmal has revealed his all-time Pakistan ODI XI and fans are having a go at it.
The elder Akmal brother has promoted Babar Azam as an opener alongside Saeed Anwar but ignored the likes of Rameez Raja and Aamir Sohail.
While there is no place for Javed Miandad, Mohammad Yousuf, and Younis Khan, Kamran has included Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik in the middle order alongside Umar Akmal and Shahid Afridi.
Pakistan produced many quality wicket-keepers in the past, including, Waseem Bari, Moin Khan, and the great Rashid Lateef. However, instead of picking from the best of the lot, Kamran thinks he’s the best wicket-keeper batsmen to have ever played for Pakistan.
Moreover, legendary leg-spinner Abdul Qadir, former Test captains Inzamam-ul-Haq, Imran Khan, and Waqar Younis, have also failed to make a spot in his dream XI.
While Kamran has included three of his family members (himself, Umar, and cousin, Babar Azam), people are asking as to why he hasn’t included Adnan Akmal – the only brother left out.
Here is Kamran Akmal’s all-time ODI XI:
- Saeed Anwar
- Babar Azam
- Mohammad Hafeez
- Umar Akmal
- Shoaib Malik
- Shahid Afridi
- Abdul Razzaq
- Kamran Akmal
- Wasim Akram
- Shoaib Akhtar
- Saqlain Mushtaq

As bad as him
Apnay munh mian mithoo.
Perfect 11 for me:
1. Saeed Anwar
2. Aamer Sohail (undoubtly best opening combo)
3. Inzamam ul haq
4. Mohammad yosuf/Javed Miandad
5. Abdul Razzaq/Shahid Afridi
6. Kamran Akmal(w)
7. Imran khan(c)
8. Wasim Akram
9. Shoaib Akhtar
10. Waqar younus
11. Abdul Qadir
*the only reason to add kamran akmal that he scored 31 first class centuries(which is most by any asian batsman) and also Pakistan have not produced any quality wicketkeeper batsman.
Shukar hai isny Abdul Razzaq ko rakh lia ,wrna agar saeed anwar jaldi out hojye to 100 runs ka target aj k dor main ye team kesy bachati
No inzi ans yousuf one of the greatest ODI batsmen… Would you think that Umar Akmal is great batsman… How Many games he won for Pakistan….
You can just laugh on it… ?
Adnan akmal ki jaga bante thi Malik ki jaga
The vision is restricted to his era and around. That is the reason of his decline otherwise also
Annie dya ae mizak hae
Where is Abdul Wahab when u need him?
This shows this rascal’s knowledge for cricket. All the names except some from same lobby that destroyed our cricket. Pakistan k liye kabi khela ho to saman aye na k which is the best XI
Ye shukr hai k Adnan Akmal ko b nhi select kr Liya, eski apni Xi me phr b jga bnti h,, lkn Umar Akmal, hafeez, Malik ki to blkl b nhi bnti
I think this would be the perfect combination
1. Saeed Anwar
2. Babar Azam
3. M. Yousuf
4. Misbah Ul Haq
5. Inzmam Ul Haq
6. K. Akmal (WK)
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Wasim Akram
9. Saeed Ajmal
10. Waqar Younis
11. Saqlain Mushtaq
I believe selection of himself is justified purely due to batting skills, but Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik and Hafeez ahead of Javed Miandad, Inzimam ul Haq, Younis Khan and Muhammad Yousuf is absurd.
I guess you haven’t seen Saleem Yousaf, Moin Khan and Rashid Latif. Even Zulqernain was far better than him. Keeping skills; all time worst.. otherwise you know what Akmal brothers have always been upto
Saray la lo jutyan tay vech enho bitha lo. I can’t comment more than this,..
1. Saeed Anwar
2. Babar Azam
3. Muhammad Yousaf
4. Inzamam Ul Haq
5. Misbah Ul Haq
6. Shahid Afridi
7. Abdul Razzaq
8. Kamran Akmal
9. Wasim Akram
10. Shoaib Akhtar
11. Saqlain Mushtaq
All time worst ODI XI
April Fool ko saal ki kisi bhi din celebrate karna koi Akmal Brothers sy seekhay!
He just left his Dad and Son , and wife as an impire
What a joke he was the worst wicket keeper in. Pakistan cricket history… Akmal Brothers never played for country…
No doubt Ahmad Kaleem’s 11, but replacing Kamran Akmal with Wasim Bari. A team needs a specialist wicket keeper.
اندھا بانٹے ریوڑیاں اپنوں اپنوں کو دے
Shoaib Akthar kept so he can keep slapping the all time idiot behind wickets
The only one missing is Adnan Akmal….no wonder he’s IQ is limited…Probably the worst middle order he could have chosen.
انا ونڈے ریوڑیاں مڑ مڑ اپنیاں نوں
Sayeed Anwar
Amer Sohail
Younus Khan
Javed Miandad (VC)
Inzamam UL Haq
Abdul Razzak
Shahid Afridi
