The runs didn't cease to flow
for Umar Akmal, the younger brother of Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran and
Adnan, in his maiden first-class season. In a triumphant 2007-08 for Sui
Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, Umar failed to score in his first
outing but then went on to amass 855 runs from nine matches in the
Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, at an average of 77.72 and an impressive
strike-rate of 90.18. He showed a penchant for both brisk and big
scoring, with knocks of 248 off 225 balls and 186 off 170. In January
2008, he was picked in Pakistan's Under-19 team for the World Cup in
Malaysia. He was the leading run-getter - with 255 runs at a strike-rate
of 123.18 - in a tri-nation tournament involving England and Sri Lanka
in the lead-up to the World Cup. A successful tour of Australia with
Pakistan A was followed up a maiden international call-up for the ODIs
in Sri Lanka, and Umar started off with a half-century in his second
game and a power-packed hundred in his third. A Test call-up was
inevitable and he gave an optimistic glimpse into the future of Pakistan
cricket, with a century on debut, under pressure followed by a string
of consistent scores in New Zealand.
As
explosive starts to one’s International careers go, few can rival Umar
Akmal. He announced his entry with scores of 66 and 102* within his
first 3 ODI innings (at Sri Lanka, 2009) in addition to a 129 and 75 on
Test debut (at New Zealand, 2009). Those performances weren’t a
surprise. At first class level, Akmal was renowned for his big scores
amassed in quick time. 7 years prior to his debut, Umar’s elder brother
Kamran had already gotten his taste of international cricket. By 2010,
the siblings featured regularly, in tandem for Pakistan.
