Razaq & Akmal Has Been Dropped From West Indies Trip

Abdul Razaq and Kamran Akmal have been dismissed from Pakistan's for the forthcoming trip of West Indies, while elder players Umar Gul and Younis Khan have been rested. Shahid Afridi stays captain of the team, a new wicketkeeper Mohammad Salman has been introduced.

Kamran's wicketkeeping has been a basis of worry for some time now, while different selectors have persevered with him in the faith that his batting gives the team with flexibility. But an unfortunate World Cup battle, with bat and gloves - the small hit in the match against New Zealand where he dropped centurion Ross Taylor three times, including two times early on, as well as fuzz in games against Sri Lanka and the semi-final with India - have at last showed too much. Coach Waqar Younis had coded that it was time for a fresh wicketkeeper to be introduced, and Salman got the nod.
