I don&#39;t think Sehwag had the talent that Imran Nazir had. There is no comparison with regards to talent. We tried to contain him a little,&quot; Akhtar was quoted as saying on a TV show by Cricket Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He, however, believes Pakistan didn&#39;t use Nazir well else the team would have had a better player in him than Sehwag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When he hit a brutal hundred against India in a match, I asked them to play Imran Nazir consistently but they didn&#39;t listen,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is unfortunate that we do not know how to take care of our brands. We could have had a player better than Virender Sehwag in Imran Nazir. He had all the shots while also being a good fielder. We could have utilised him brilliantly but we just couldn&#39;t,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nazir played just 8 Tests, 79 ODIs and 25 T20Is for Pakistan, amassing 427, 1895 and 500 runs in the three formats respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the other hand, Sehwag represented India in 104 Tests, 251 ODIs and 19 T20Is in which he scored 8586, 8273 and 394 runs respectively.<\/p>\r\n",
