Kamran Akmal eyes comeback as specialist batsman

Karachi : Out of favour wicketkeeper-batsman, Kamran Akmal is eyeing a comeback to Pakistan cricket team as a specialist batsman.


The keeper was omitted for the one-day series in the West Indies after a disappointing time behind the stumps in the World Cup.

Since the Sydney test held in January, 2010, Kamran has found himself omitted from the one-day and test squads several times but always made a comeback.

"If Pakistan can find a better wicketkeeper than me then I will try to make a comeback as a specialist batsman because batting is something I enjoy a lot and I can bat at any position," Kamran said.

Kamran, who has six Test and five centuries in one-day internationals, said he was working hard on his keeping and batting as he was desperate to make a comeback to the national team. PTI
