Pakistan wicketkeeper cum batsman Kamran Akmal, who is in sublime form, has added yet another feather to his cap by completing 800 catches in first-class (FC) cricket.

The 35-year-old continued to perform at the domestic circuit, as he completed 800 FC catches during the Quaid-e-Azam trophy match at SBP ground, where he was playing super 8 round’s match for WAPDA against KRL.

During the game, he grabbed seven catches behind the stumps, five in first and two in second innings.

Kamran is not only the first Pakistani but also the first Asian player to reach this milestone and only the second non-England player after Rod Marsh to achieve the feat of 800 first-class catches. Out of the 33 players to reach 800 FC catches, 31 are from England.

With a total 865 dismissals behind the wicket, Kamran is also Pakistan’s most successful wicketkeeper in FC cricket. The wicketkeeper was also the leading runs scorer of the recently concluded National T20 Cup.
