It looks like Pakistan 𝕴wicket-keeper Kamran༺ Akmal has not bettered his reputation of spilling catches over the years.
During Pakistan’s tour of Australia in 2005, Akmal dropped one sitter after another during a single Test match in Melbourne.
In fact, there are well-compiled videos of Kamran Akmal missing catches floating around social media.
The game between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmis remains forgetful for the elder Akmal. With 50 runs required of just ten deliveries, Gladiators’ Sohail Khan top-edged one towards the wicketkeeper.
Akmal was well under the ball and looked comfortable to hold on to the skier from Sohail Khan off Hasan Ali’s bowling. Even the commeಞntators thought Akmal held on to the catch before the visual of Imam ul Haq gathering the grounded ball surfaced.
KAMRAN AKMAL PUTS DOWN ANOTHER ONE ❌
Sohail Khan managed to hit it high up into the night sky but Kamran Akmal couldn't take it

As soon as the video went viral, netizens jumped onto the opportuni🌸ty to troll their favored wicketkeeper-batsman.

How is this guy still picked as a keeper?
Surely this has to be investigated…..he does this nonsense so so often.

Despite his shortcomings with the gloves, Akmal has mainly been vocal about not getting the ꦓopportunity to feature in the national team.
Also, he has criticized Misbah-ul-Haq and the selection committee for not favoring him💫 to don the gඣreens of Pakistan.
