Speaking at an event, Akram said he knew the Rawalpindi match would end in a draw. “During our time it depended a lot on what the captain wanted. These two Test matches I tried to watch but I couldn’t. As a ex-fast bowler, I knew this would be a draw match after the second delivery of the match. When West Indies used to come back in our days when Imran Khan was the captain, we used to make slow pitches,” an angry Akram said.

After strong criticism, Raja has responded by posting a video. He agreed a drawn Test is not boring but also accepted the pitches in Pakistan need to rebuild.
“The first thing that I had said was that we need to redo pitches in Pakistan on a massive scale. But it was September when I took charge and the season was still on. During the off-season, you would see that we got soil from Australia here and we experimented with some kind of soil ourselves. We will then redo 50-60 pitches in Pakistan as soon as our season comes to an end in March and April,” he said.
