Akhtar needs to be dealt with firmly: Akram

Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said on Wednesday that Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanan had shown that maverick speedster Shoaib Akhtar needed to be “handled more firmly and professionally” to get the best results out of him.

Akram also said he was vindicated in saying that Akhtar’s performance was boosted by big crowds and attention.
