'Will India play without Ashwin or Jadeja?': Akmal blasts PCB

Former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal criticized the team management for dropping leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh. Akmal questioned the decision, comparing it to Australia's reliance on Nathan Lyon and India's on Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. He accused the management of sidelining Abrar due to personal biases, damaging his confidence. Akmal also highlighted Yasir Shah's decline, blaming similar issues. The decision to opt for an all-pace attack, excluding a specialist spinner, has sparked widespread debate.
