LONDON, Aug 16: Pakistan cricket chief Shaharyar Khan is hoping one of England's greatest glovemen can help faltering wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal regain his form behind the stumps.

“Kamran Akmal is one of our finest players and Rodney Marsh — one of Australia's greatest glovemen — said he was the best wicket-keeper in the world last year,” Shaharyar told bigstarcricket.com.

“I'm going to ask Bob if he could request Bob Taylor or Jack Russell to work with him. I always thought that both of those guys were superb keepers. Kamran just needs a good match and a return to confidence.”—AFP
