Kamran Akmal replies to a fan on social media, who asked the Pakistani cricketer why people constantly troll him for his poor English.

Kamran Akmal has been treated as a laughing stock by the fans in India and few people in his own nation too, one of the prominent reasons behind it is that the player doesn’t have a decent command over English.

At the beginning of his career, Kamran has used translators to answer the questions posed on him during the match presentations especially during the matches played abroad.

Whereas, his counterparts across the border quite fairly speak the commonwealth language during the match presentations and press conferences, which gives them the license to troll him.

A fan curiously asked Kamran about his constant trolling for English, while the latter started a Q&A session on social media, “Why people make fun on your English?”

To which, the Pakistani player gave a solid reply, which might even propel his trolls to think before they try to pick on him next time. He replied, “It’s ok English is not our mother language.”

Not only Kamran, but many other Pakistani players have been trolled for their poor command in English, including the legends like Inzamam Ul Haq, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis etc.

The brutal trolling still continues, as there are still many players in the current roster who are not comfortable communicating in English. Meanwhile, Kamran currently is not part of the current Pakistani team’s setup.

he has been quite vocal about getting ignored by the selectors repeatedly. He alleges that the selectors are ignoring him completely as far as giving another chance to senior players.

Whilst they have given shot to his former teammates like Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shehzad, Shoaib Malik and his brother Umar Akmal as well but still, he faced the axe.
