On Thursday, a video of the former star bowler went viral on social media in which he was criticising someone’s performance and talking about a solution to the issue.
In the video, he can be heard saying that old methods had been overused, adding that to bring change, one had to change their methods, mindset and do something innovative.
He further said, “It is beyond comprehension that they make big claims, but their performance is zero.”
The video concluded with Akram saying that he had thought of a solution to change the situation. Interestingly, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar also tweeted about the video, in which he said he supported Wasim Akram’s leaked video.
