Umar Akmal, the star batsman for Pakistan, is frantically attempting to return to international cricket after once being regarded as a staple for the Men in Green.
He recently discussed a wide range of subjects with Pakistani journalist Hafiz Muhammad Imran on his YouTube channel.
He was asked a question about his comeback, and in his response, he mentioned Virat Kohli.
I learned through a reporter that Pakistani cricketer Raza Dar never wanted me to represent the domestic squad, though he never gave me a reason.
I said, feeling moved, “This only occurs in Pakistan cricket.”
A report states that Umar Akmal expresses disappointment over the fake news (Circulating on Social Media) about his relocation to USA. Umar Akmal emphasis that he still has got alot to offer Pakistan Cricket. #Cricket #Umar pic.twitter.com/8oXTRuT6YC

Virat Kohli was also having a bad stretch at one point, but the Indian cricket administration and captain Dhoni supported him wholeheartedly, and look where he is today, the player continued.
He said in his conclusion that you should support the athlete when they are down because they will win games for you.
If a player is not supported, they begin to doubt their abilities.

Pakistani cricketers are preparing for the next PSL season, in which six teams will face off for the coveted championship.
Akmal is not part of any franchise so for him to make comeback in the national squad he would have to rely on domestic cricket tournaments and despite him being given limited opportunities his path towards making into Men in Green squad wouldn’t be easy.
