In the absence of very good-keepers let alone wicket-keeper batsmen in the country, perhaps it is time to consider playing Umar Akmal as a wicket-keeper-batsman in tests. His glove work is adequate plus he is a specialist batsman. For sure wicket-keeper should be judged on glove work not batting, but in the absence of a genuine test all-rounder you do need a keeper who can contribute with both bat and gloves. If he ceases to contribute, the team’s construction is thrown off balance.

Yes he is much better than Sarfraz whos average is 20 I think in Tests and just a mediocre keeper dont know why he keeps getting selected again and again
