Pakistan Cricket Team’s bowling coach Waqar Younis says that Ahmed Shahzad and Umar Akmal were never asked to be kept away from the Pakistan team.
Talking to the media after the training camp, he said that one has to go with the mindset of the head coach. All work under the head coach.
I have enough chemistry with Misbah-ul-Haq, I will try to support the current head coach and chief selector Misbah as much as possible.
The former Pakistani fast bowler said that the bowlers are working hard during the training camp and want to improve the performance of the team. New things have happened in Pakistan cricket. We all aim to improve the performance of the Pakistan team.
Waqar Younis further said that former bowling coach of Pakistan Cricket Team Azhar Mahmood has done a good job. What fast bowler Usman Shinwari said about him is his (Usman Shinwari) personal opinion.
In response to a question during the press conference, he said that the fitness is being improved during the camp for the cricket team, the bowlers are practicing hard.
The bowling coach of the national team said that he never said about national team opener Ahmed Shehzad and middle order batsman Umar Akmal that both should be kept away from the team. Some misconceptions were spread in the past.
There is no truth in these things. Waqar Younis said that the team is starting anew, new responsibilities have been given, this is not anyone’s team, it is Pakistan’s team, I am trying to help everyone. It keeps happening then we will do it. During the press conference, a question was asked that when are you coming back to Pakistan from Australia, to which Waqar Younis said that I am trying to move to Pakistan soon.

What were the specific accusations made by Umar Akmal against Mickey Arthur and Waqar Younis?
## Umar Akmal vs. Waqar Younis: A Tale of Two Perspectives
**(Host):** Welcome back to the show. Joining us today is [Name of Alex Reed], a seasoned cricket analyst, to discuss the recent controversy surrounding Umar Akmal and Waqar Younis. Waqar Younis, Pakistan’s bowling coach, recently stated that there was never a directive to keep Umar Akmal, and Ahmed Shahzad, away from the national team. This statement comes in stark contrast to Umar Akmal’s recent accusations that former coaches Waqar Younis and Mickey Arthur were biased against him.
**(Alex Reed):** It’s certainly a complex situation. While Umar Akmal has been vocal about his grievances towards Waqar Younis and Mickey Arthur, claiming they had personal issues with him, Waqar Younis’ recent statement paints a different picture. He emphasizes the importance of following the head coach’s strategy, implying a united front within the coaching staff.
**(Host):** Umar Akmal’s accusations are quite serious. He went as far as saying that Mickey Arthur admitted to using harsh words on him. How do you reconcile these two contrasting narratives?
**(Alex Reed):** That’s the million-dollar question. We need to consider all possibilities. It’s possible there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication between Umar Akmal and the coaches. Alternatively, there may have been instances of strong disagreements or clashes of personalities behind closed doors. As outsiders, we can only speculate based on what is made public.

**(Host):** So, what does this mean for the future of Umar Akmal in the Pakistan team?
**(Alex Reed): ** It remains to be seen. His talent is undeniable, but so are the challenges he’s faced. For Akmal to make a comeback, he needs to demonstrate commitment, discipline, and a willingness to work within the team structure. Ultimately, it will be the selectors’ decision based on his performance and attitude.
**(Host):** Thank you for your insightful analysis, [Name of Alex Reed]. This situation highlights the complexities of team dynamics and the importance of open communication in professional sports.
