Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal has said that he was "hurt and heartbroken" at being overlooked for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh. Kamran Akmal (38) Friday took to Twitter to express his frustration. "[I am ]hurt and heartbroken for not being considered for the team. " he tweeted and said: "I have really worked hard."

However, Kamran vowed not to give up, work harder and thanked everyone who supported him." It may be noted that Kamran Akmal was the second-highest score in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2019, piling up 906 runs at an average of 60.40. However, his record in the National T20 Cup in October was abysmal. In four matches of the tournament, he scored a total of 30 runs - 26 of which came in a single outing, meaning that he scored just four runs in the other three outings.
