"I am among those rare cricketers of Pakistan who have been ignored at every turn," he said.

Replying to a tweet which quoted Akmal saying Arthur had spoiled his career, the former coach of South Africa and Sri Lanka shot back, "Take a look in the mirror Umar!!"

Akmal also said he couldn't understand pace legend, Waqar Younis as a head coach.

"Waqar Younis was a legendary fast bowler but I could not understand him as a head coach," Akmal said.

Arthur was appointed Pakistan's head coach in May 2016 and led the team to victory in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy against India.
