LAHORE: Discarded Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal met PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf on Wednesday in another attempt to resurrect his sagging international career.

The experienced wicketkeeper, who received a lot of flak for his shoddy work behind the stumps during the past few series as well as the 2011 World Cup, has reportedly complaint about the selectors overlooking him despite his good performances in domestic matches.”

Kamran conveyed to the board chairman that the selectors were being unfair to him despite his good performances in domestic cricket as he had ignored him for the Sri Lanka series and the Bangladesh tour,” a source close to the cricketer said.

Kamran’s name also came up during the spot-fixing scandal along with pacer Wahab Riaz who has also not been picked during recent matches.

The source added that Kamran had told Zaka that he had submitted all the necessary documents regarding his bank accounts and assets to the ICC and the PCB’s integrity committee and yet he was being sidelined.—Agencies
