Former Pakistan cricket captain Wasim Akram blamed Mahendra Singh Dhoni's flawed selection policy for India's failure in the World Twenty20
Akram said India failed to get the balance of the team. The legendary fast bowler asked why Harbhajan Singh was left out against South Africa, who are vulnerable to spin.

“I am puzzled with the way the Indian team management has picked playing XIs. For example, I feel a wicket-taking bowler like Harbhajan Singh was missed against the ragged South Africans on Tuesday night,” Akram was quoted as saying by ESPNStar.com.
Akram also questioned the decision to allow Lakshmipathy Balaji bowl the last over against South Africa. “India’s batting is one of the strongest in the world, but if you are expecting Zaheer Khan or a Balaji to win you a tight match every day, think again.
“Giving Balaji the last over against South Africa was suicidal. A bowler on a comeback is always short of confidence and I think India were lucky to win by a run,” he said.
