Pakistan are going through a difficult period after back-to-back Test defeats against England. The losses led to a major mid-series squad overhaul, with several players and Test head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul sent home due to Pakistan’s batting and technical problems in English conditions.
“It has been 10 years since the PSL started, but has a single batter been produced by the PSL?" Wasim Akram questioned. "Yes we have produced a few bowlers but tell me have we produced any noteworthy batting talent."
Akram has experience in both the IPL and PSL. He worked as the bowling coach and mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders from 2010 to 2017 and also held leadership roles with several PSL franchises, including Islamabad United, Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings.

He made headlines at the 2026 Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, scoring a brilliant 175 off 80 balls against England in the final. Sooryavanshi then made his senior T20I debut against England on July 4, 2026. He also impressed during India’s series against Zimbabwe.
Wasim Akram Calls for More Investment in Club Cricket
Wasim Akram believes Pakistan’s batting problems cannot be solved by focusing only on the PSL. He called for greater investment in club cricket, which he sees as the foundation for developing technically sound players for red-ball cricket.
“In England in the ongoing series they didn’t move their front foot forward, playing bowlers like Ollie Robinson while standing rooted in the crease. You need to play with courage, but for that, talent is essential.”
“Club cricket needs to be revived if we want improvement in red ball cricket. The PCB should spend 100 million rupees each in Karachi and Lahore, as talent comes from club cricket,” he said.
