Akram’s remarks came after his fellow paceman Waqar Younis endorsed Imran and praised his leadership skills.
“You have got what it takes Skipper Imran Khan, but it will take everything you have...No one can doubt your Honesty and that’s what is required in our country...An honest LEADER. Behind you skipper,” Younis said in at tweet.
