Kamran Akmal unimpressed with selection for Sri Lanka series

Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has expressed his dissatisfaction over the selection ahead of the crucial away series against Sri Lanka.

Akmal remained unsatisfied and claimed that the 18-man squad does not have even a single genuine off-spinner.

"There is not a single genuine off-spinner in the 18-member Test squad of Pakistan for the Sri Lanka tour. Sajid Khan has been replaced by a part-time off-spinner but this is not the approach to win Test matches," the wicketkeeper said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the squad on Wednesday and it was subject to a lot of criticism from ex-cricketer who questioned the exclusion of Kamran Ghulam among other players.

Leg-spinner Yasir Khan has been selected once again - after a gap of almost an entire year. Salman Agha and Haris Rauf have also been named in the squad for the two-Test series in Galle and Colombo.

Sri Lanka relied heavily on their spin attack against the limited-overs series against Australia, something which the team is comfortable against themselves.
