Wasim Akram has been worried due to lack of time for the team to get use to with the conditions in New Zealand and Australia. Former captain has expressed his concerns for the national team.
He said, “It takes time to adjust to the pitches and conditions in both countries and I have toured those nations many times in the past. I just think a few warm up games and two ODIs against New Zealand is not the proper preparation for such a mega event,” Indian media reported.
Former left arm fast bowler Wasim Akram was the first bowler to reach the 500-wicket mark in ODI cricket during the 2003 World Cup. Akram was the part of the squad in the World Cup 1992 and he was the captain in the 1999 World Cup.
According to media reports Akram said, “When you look at India and how they are still struggling despite being in Australia for the past two months and having played a lot of matches, it does raises concerns whether Pakistan have enough time to go well prepared into the World Cup”.
Wasim Akram is expecting a very close and tensed match as both teams know the strengths and weaknesses of each other.
