However, Test cricket remains ultimate format for 'Sultan of Swing'.

"T20 is amazing, good entertainment; re’s plenty of money involved and I'm all in for importance of money in a sport and players," Akram, regarded as one of greatest left-arm pacers game has ever produced told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel.

"y won't learn bowling from T20. I don't judge a player by T20 performance, I judge m from ir performances in longer version of cricket."

Akram also recalled his initial days as a Pakistan cricketer and said he absolutely had clue about his talent.

"When I came in team as a youngster I used to listen to Imran (Khan) Bhai, Javed (Miandad) Bhai, Mudassar Nazar that this kid has talent but that time I didn't understand what y were trying to say.

"n I asked Imran Khan and he said your pace is deceptive and swing ball and n I started to work on those areas.

"thing comes easy was one advise which I learnt from all se three players all though ir ways were different. As a bowler, our job is to create doubts in minds of batsmen. I enjoyed tag that I am talented," said Akram.
