<p>Lawson, who is in London doing commentary on the Twenty20 World Cup, said that he really enjoyed his stay in Pakistan and had a wonderful time in Lahore.<br />"The people really made me and the fitness trainer David Dwyer very welcome and were very hospitable towards us," he told the www.Pakpassion.net website.<br />Lawson was unceremoniously removed as coach after Ejaz Butt took over as Chairman of the cricket board last October and was replaced by former Pakistan captain Intikhab Alam.<br />Lawson said despite the way he had to leave as Pakistan coach, he would still love to do the job as the boys were a young and very good group of guys to work with.<br />"It was great working with such a young and enthusiastic bunch. Pakistan is full of cricketing talent, but the cricketing system in the country isn't always producing the best talent," he said.<br />Lawson, however, said there were a couple of selectors who were not up to the job and didn't have any idea what was going on. <br /><br />Lawson also had some harsh words to say about controversial fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar who was dropped from the World Cup squad on medical grounds.<br />"Akhtar was totally unprofessional as a cricketer, he trained when he felt like it, didn't contribute to the team. I couldn't think of a more unprofessional player, which is a pity as he is such a talented player," Lawson said.<br />"Akhtar is using five percent of his natural talent and was being disruptive to the other members of the team," Lawson said.<br />He added that in the Australian cricket system a player like Akhtar would not get into even a club team, no matter how good he was.<br />Lawson also complained that nobody from the PCB explained to him why he was sacked which was very unprofessional.<br />"The government changed and the Board changed and the new Chairman made some ridiculous statements," he said.</p>
