Kamran asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) earlier this year to put Umar Akmal in the white-ball squad for the forthcoming season, which includes the World Cup in 2023.

“The mentality of our team members, especially Umar Akmal, is focused on playing for Pakistan, whether they bat from the first delivery or chase down a target,” Kamran explained.

Last month, Kamran encouraged Babar Azam, the all-format captain, to put personal agendas aside and select Umar Akmal, noting that selection should not be dependent on personal preferences.
