Akhtar also admitted the fact that Sohail has been troubled a lot due to knee injuries in the past and related to having similar injuries during his playing career. He said, “The only drawback of Sohail is his knees, I once asked him regarding this problem and he told me that he has a genuine problem with his knees like I [Akhtar] used to have. But he is the smartest and most talented cricketer that fits in the middle order, but he is not able to get fit in as other players need to be adjusted.”
