Wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal was a shocked over his omission from the central contract list. The PCB on Monday announced their latest batch of central contracts on Monday. Akmal said he was disappointed over the decision. “I am disappointed but I just need to keep on playing domestic cricket and prove my form to the selectors and the board,” Kamran was reported to have said. Kamran said he was working hard on his technique and seeking advice from former captains and keepers Moin Khan and Rashid Latif. The 29-year-old Kamran, a veteran of 53 tests, 137 one-day internationals and 38 Twenty20s, has been replaced by his younger brother Adnan Akmal, 26, who toured New Zealand last year. He played in the 50-over World Cup at the start of the year but was then dropped from the Test tour to West Indies in April and May due to inconsistent form behind the stumps. Kamran has made six Test centuries and five hundreds in one-day internationals. In one World Cup match against New Zealand, he dropped Ross Taylor twice in one over from paceman Shoaib Akhtar and the batsman went on to score a match-winning hundred.
