Akram previously played for Cambridge University Centre of Cricketing Excellence, Essex Cricket Board and Second XI cricket for Essex and Derbyshire.[1] Akram continued playing amateur cricket as captain of Wanstead and Snaresbrook CC, alongside his twin brother Adnan; and played for the MCC since 2006.

In 2010, Akram was selected as one of 21 players to form the first Unicorns squad to take part in the Clydesdale Bank 40 domestic limited overs competition against the regular first-class counties. The Unicorns were made up of 15 former county cricket professionals and 6 young cricketers looking to make it in the professional game.[2] Akram is now the university cricket co-ordinator at the University of East London.[3]
