Don't put the blame entirely on Akmal

The coach denied the possibility of another stumper taking charge from Kamran.

"We can think of making any changes only after the World Cup," reasoned Waqar.

"Right now we are in the middle of the tournament and I don't think it is possible to make any changes at this stage," he added.

However, the coach offered a solution as well.

"We have five days before our next game, so efforts will be made to iron out at least some of his flaws, for it is impossible to correct everything that is wrong with his wicket-keeping in such span. But we will make sure he won't the same mistakes again," Waqar said.

The Pakistan coach also admitted his team had failed as a unit.

"Giving a chance to a player like Ross Taylor was obviously the turning point," said Waqar.

"He is one of their best batsmen and we gave him two chances in three balls.

"That definitely cost us the game," he added.

However, Waqar didn't buy the argument that Kamran was to be solely blamed for the blunder.

"We bowled poorly in the end also. Shoaib (Akhtar) and (Abdul) Razzaq gave away 50-60 runs in two overs," explained Waqar.

"So don't put the blame only on Akmal," he stated.
