Ramiz Raja has slammed the former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar for his brutal comments over the current Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. Recently, while speaking on a local news channel, Akhtar claimed that there is no superstars in Pakistan as no one can speak properly.
He also said Babar Azam is not a superstar as he can not speak properly. He said: "Babar Azam can become greatest batter in the history if he brings improvement in his batting strike rate. There is no superstar in Pakistan Cricket Team right now because they cannot speak on camera. If a cricketer can't speak on camera then how will he be able to perform on ground." Over such statements, Raja took a brutal dig at Akhtar.
“He wants everyone to become a brand, but it is more important to become a human first.” - Ramiz Raja on Shoaib Akhtar
While speaking on Bol News, Ramiz Raja said that Shoaib Akhtar is a delusional superstar. He said: "Shoaib Akhtar is a delusional superstar. He also had an issue recently with Kamran Akmal. He wants everyone to become a brand, but it is more important to become a human first. First, become a human and then a brand. Our former players degrade our cricket brand by giving delusional statements.
“You will never see that happening in our neighbouring country. You will never see Sunil Gavaskar criticizing Rahul Dravid. It only happens in Pakistan, where former players don't let others do their job professionally," he said. Raja also added that Akhtar needs to get a graduate degree first to become eligible for the chairmanship of PCB.
He said: "He needs to get a graduate degree first in order to become eligible for the chairmanship of PCB." Hearing such statements from the former PCB Chairman, fans went crazy and shared their views on the social media platform. Some fans were also left shocked as both of them played together for Pakistan for a considerable time.
Here are some tweets that fans have shared to take a dig at these former Pakistan stars:
