Former Pakistan pace bowler further said that the Indian team management looks confused and they are unable to find the best playing XI of Team India.

“India should decide what should be their final XI. Who is your future? Is it Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Deepak Hooda, or Ravi Bishnoi. Find your final XI at least first, because this is a confused selection from India and I don’t know why there is so much confusion,” Akhtar concluded.
