The
runs didn't cease to flow for Umar Akmal, the younger brother of
Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran and Adnan, in his maiden first-class
season. In a triumphant 2007-08 for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited,
Umar failed to score in his first outing but then went on to amass 855
runs from nine matches in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, at an average of
77.72 and an impressive strike-rate of 90.18. He showed a penchant for
both brisk and big scoring, with knocks of 248 off 225 balls and 186 off
170. In January 2008, he was picked in Pakistan's Under-19 team for the
World Cup in Malaysia. He was the leading run-getter - with 255 runs at
a strike-rate of 123.18 - in a tri-nation tournament involving England
and Sri Lanka in the lead-up to the World Cup. A successful tour of
Australia with Pakistan A was followed up a maiden international call-up
for the ODIs in Sri Lanka, and Umar started off with a half-century in
his second game and a power-packed hundred in his third. A Test call-up
was inevitable and he gave an optimistic glimpse into the future of
Pakistan cricket, with a century on debut, under pressure followed by a
string of consistent scores in New Zealand.
