Umar Akmal wants to bat at number four
Pakistan’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595, is not satisfied with his batting spot at the moment and said that he wants to bat at number four.
Akmal is known for his flamboyant cricket and never lets his nerves get the better of him. This is the reason why he bats at number six in One Day International cricket as well as in Tests.
He feels that number four is the ideal spot for him to bat because he can build his innings from there, which is not possible while batting at the sixth spot.
He said that his motivation for scoring runs at the moment is to win the confidence of the team management so that they give him a chance to bat higher up the order.
Akmal said, "I feel that No. 4 is ideal for me and I am trying to do well lower down the order with a view to maybe being promoted up the batting order. But I need to win over the captain, coach and management, and convince them that I am responsible enough
to bat at number 4.”
