Akmal brothers involved in Afridi’s removal: Haider

KARACHI: Former Pakistan wicket-keeper Zulqarnain Hadier said Monday that Kamran Akmal and Umer Akmal were involved in the removal of former skipper Shahid Afridi.

Haider added that the Akmal brothers were involved in politicking in order to secure their place in the Pakistani side.

The former wicket-keeper was speaking to Geo News and alleged that Waqar Younis would also take part in lobbying against certain players.

Commenting on Mazhar Majeed the agent at the center of the spot fixing controversy, Haider said Majeed would be seen with several players and he was interested in making him his agent but was stopped by senior players.

Haider also thanked former sports minister Ijaz Jhakrani for including him in the team on the basis of performance.
