Former pacer Shoaib Akhtar believes that Virender Sehwag's Pakistani contemporary, Imran Nazir, was more talented than the aggressive Indian but didn't have his brain and was also let down by the country's cricket administration.

The 44-year-old believes Pakistan, in general, did not take good care of the talent it had.

"I don't think Imran Nazir had the brain that Sehwag had. I don't think Sehwag had the talent that Imran Nazir had. There is no comparison with regards to talent. We tried to contain him a little," Akhtar told local media.

"When he hit a brutal hundred against India in a side match, I asked them to play Imran Nazir consistently but they didn't listen."
