Former Pakistan wicket keeper, Rashid Latif, feels it is time for Kamran Akmal to take a break.

Akmal was once again at it, spilling catches during Pakistan's first Test against England and on the eve of the second Test, Latif feels Akmal is better off taking a break, "The problem with Kamran is that he is overweight for a keeper and also jaded. He is playing constant cricket and he needs to take a break and comeback afresh. He will only comeback stronger if he realises his weak areas and what he needs to do to iron out the problems. Because of his poor keeping his confidence as a batsman has also suffered."

But perhaps Akmal would not agree given the fragility with which positions are held in the Pakistan dressing room.
