Share:Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has claimed that Pakistan's Imran Nazir was more skilled than his Indian counterpart Virender Sehwag but the former did not have a brain and was sacked by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

"I don't think Imran Nazir had the brain that Sehwag had. I don't think Sehwag had the skills that Imran Nazir had. There is no comparison in terms of qualifications. We tried to stop him a bit, "Akhtar said on his YouTube channel." When he scored a brutal century against India in a side match, I asked him to play Imran Nazir permanently. But he did not refuse, and his career went awry. "

Imran Nazir played only eight Tests for Pakistan, scoring 427 runs and 1,895 runs in 79 ODIs. On the other hand, Sehwag scored 8,586 Test runs in 104 matches and 8,273 ODI runs in 251 matches.

Criticizing the PCB management, the Rawalpindi Express said it did not nurture the players it had. "It's unfortunate we don't know how to take care of our brands. We could have made a better player in Imran Nazir than Virender Sehwag. He was a good fielder and took all the shots. We could use it brilliantly, but we just couldn't.

The former pacer said that the legendary former batsman Javed Miandad played an important role in shaping Nazir's career. "Whenever Imran Nazir played well, it was because of Javed Miandad. He would be in the dressing room and play it. Tries Whenever he played a bad shot, Javed Bhai would text him to keep him focused, "he said.
