“I can accept criticism if the team is not doing well. But in Pakistan cricket, it is intolerable the way the captain and coaches are not only criticised but also abused by everyone,” Akram said in an interview.

“The abuse and at times hate which the captain and coach have to bear, I am not up to it. I don’t have that tolerance level, especially when it comes to the use of social media. They are some people who I think only sit on twitter day and night to send negative comments.”
