Akmal catches a new mark

During the recently concluded two-Test series against West Indies, Pakistan’s Kamran Akmal created a new world record of most dismissals by a keeper in a two-Test series. Akmal took 16 scalps behind the stumps, nine of which came in the second match of the series. The previous record in this regard was held by Kevin John Wright of Australia who dismissed 14 batsmen during the 1978-79 two-match series held in Australia.
