Pakistan's defeat by 150 runs to the Windies has not gone down too well and with the exception of former captain Javed Miandad, who still reposed confidence in the battered team, others criticised the team.
Most of the former players demanded that the existing team management including chief selector Moin Khan and head coach Waqar Younis be sacked immediately while others wanted a complete reshuffle in the cricket board itself.
"When he knows the chips are down and the team needs an inspirational leader, why couldn't he (Misbah) come up the order and also protect Younis (Khan) and others by batting at number three," he asked.
"Misbah has always been a selfish player and he is satisfied with his own runs but the team comes second."

Akhtar also said that the team needed to undergo a reshuffle after the World Cup and pleaded with the Pakistan Cricket Board to not make anymore excuses.
"The whole nation feels let down and is understandably angry. You don't expect such unprofessional decisions from a professional management," he said.
Pakistan's former Test captain and senior batsman Muhammad Yousuf said that he couldn't understand why the tour selectors had not played leg spinner Yasir Shah against the West Indies.
"It made no sense to me at all knowing we are not good at chasing any total. And I think it is time Younis also decided about his future and withdraw himself," Yousuf said.
