‘Have We Produced A Batter Like Sooryavanshi?’: Wasim Akram Questions Pakistan’s Batting Crisis

Pakistan great Wasim Akram has questioned the country’s failure to produce quality batting talent, saying its Test cricket struggles reflect deeper problems in the domestic system. Akram pointed to the decade-old Pakistan Super League and asked whether it had produced a standout batter for the national team. He highlighted India’s teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as the kind of talent Pakistan needs. Akram called for greater investment in club cricket, consistency in selection and patience with the domestic structure. He also criticised Pakistan’s batting approach in England and urged emerging fast bowlers to be given opportunities.
