Akmal slammed the selection panel for not making changes to the middle order despite a poor performance in the Asia Cup. Pakistan have stuck to almost the same batting unit for the seven-match T20 series against England and the T20 World Cup, selecting the likes of Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah and Iftikhar Ahmed.

However, he blamed the selectors, captain, and coach for not realizing that. He said:
"Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, and Mohammad Haris - the batting line-up is almost the same as it was in the Asia Cup. They weren't in form.
These boys might've tried, but couldn't perform as there was pressure. However, deserving players had to be there.

"Plenty of changes were needed in the World Cup squad, but I think neither the chief selector understands nor the captain and coach. They announce the team as they desire and if the performance isn't there, criticism happens." The former keeper-batter further opined that the selectors will shift the blame on the players if the team fails to perform. He added that the think-tank hadn't given much thought before announcing the squad.
Akmal said:
"I feel the selectors have blindly announced the squad as they failed to recognize the team's recent performances. If the side doesn't perform well, they'll blame the players and let go of the pressure on themselves.

However, they will not think about who made the team - it's the chief selector. "Teams aren't made for learning, but for performing and winning. Such events don't take place daily and the squad should've been announced, keeping that in mind." The Men in Green suffered a 23-run loss in the Asia Cup final, given their failure to maintain the correct tempo while chasing 171.
Keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan's 49-ball 55 proved detrimental as he consumed too many deliveries before accelerating.
Hope Pakistan plays maximum matches against England with the team that will play in the World Cup - Kamran Akmal

"Shan Masood, Abrar Ahmed, and Aamir Jamal are the new players and they have an opportunity.

For Aamir Jamal because a team needs a fast-bowling all-rounder. It would've been even better had Faheem Ashraf been there. Hope Pakistan plays maximum matches against England with the team that will play in the World Cup."
