Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has asked Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to delete and apologise to fans for making a commemorative video clip without featuring the iconic Imran Khan, the 1992 World Cup winning captain.
Wasim Akram tweeted his angry reaction, as he wrote, After long flights and hours of transit before reaching Sri Lanka, I got the shock of my life when I watched PCB’s short clip on the history of Pakistan cricket minus the great Imran Khan… political differences apart but Imran Khan is an icon of world cricket and developed Pakistan into a strong unit in his time and gave us a pathway… PCB should delete the video and apologise.
