Warned of this slide, Akhtar on Pak poor run

Pakistan’s floundering World Twenty20 campaign has been lambasted by former pacer Shoaib Akhtar, who said he is not the least bit surprised by the poor run as people given key positions in the team have only bothered about their earnings. Pakistan are all but out of contention in the event after losing to India and New Zealand in the last two games.

“This downslide didn’t happen overnight it started happening few years ago and I kept on warning a day will come when we will even find it hard to beat Bangladesh. No one listened including the board,” Akhtar said.
