Caribbean Premier League 2017: 5 marquee players who failed in the first week

#3 Kamran Akmal- St Lucia Stars

Kamran Akmal has been shambolic with the willow in hand

Kamran Akmal is someone who doesn’t like to hold back and prefers to play his strokes regardless of the situation. However, the same approach has accounted for his dismissal quite a few times, in shabby performances by the Pakistani wicket-keeper batsman.

In 3 games for the St Lucia Stars, Akmal could only manage 22 runs at an average of 7.33, which is disappointing to say the least. In their first game against the Trinbago Knight Riders, he fell short of the crease and perished to a run-out courtesy a brilliant direct-hit from Sunil Narine.

In the second match, the Lahore-born cricketer looked good in his brief knock, but played one shot too many to get out after spanking the spinners for a four and a six.
