LAHORE Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has expressed surprised at the exclusion of Mohammed Asif from Pakistans first two matches in the World Twenty20. Asif was replaced by the Twenty20 International debutant Mohammad Amir during Pakistans 21-run win over Bangladesh. Pakistan gave away too many runs against Australia in the second match. They lost toss, and batting on these slow wickets in the second innings is very difficult, Akram, a former Pakistan captain and fast bowler, was quoted as saying on ESPN-Star website. Pakistans combination also was not right. I do not know why Mohammed Asif is not playing. Mohammed Sami is a talented bowler and he did well against Bangladesh, but against the Kangaroos his length was not right. Thats why he conceded so many runs. Asif has proved time and again his class and should be brought back without further delay. To sum it up, the defending champions did not look prepared for the match, which is quite understandable as they have not played much cricket in the last couple of months or so. But Pakistan soon have to adapt to the challenges in the Caribbean, he said.
