Former player and national selector Kamran Akmal has launched a stinging critique against past and present national team managements and captains for their disregard towards spinners in home Test series.

Akmal argued that spinners in Pakistan have been sidelined systematically and denied adequate opportunities over the last three years, a concern amplified by Pakistan's 0-2 home series defeat to Bangladesh.

He alleged that experienced spinners such as Yasir Shah, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Bilal Asif, Zahid Mahmood, and Usman Qadir have been unjustly overlooked. Akmal emphasized that unless spinners receive consistent exposure, it will be difficult for them to develop and succeed.
