Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram Thursday clarified the matter over video of conversation with the Karachi Kings’ skipper Babar Azam that has sparked another controversy.
In the video that went viral on social media, it can be seen that while the Karachi Kings bowlers were being 'hammered', sitting in the dressing room, Karachi Kings president and legendary former fast bowler Wasim Akram stood near the boundary and went to Babar Azam and talked to him angrily.
The video of these moments went viral on social media and users were furious with Wasim Akram as to why he was scolding Babar Azam. However, Wasim Akram has clarified the matter and said that he had only asked Babar Azam why our bowlers were not executing yorkers and slow balls and nothing else happened.
Social media users sided with Babar Azam on the issue and blamed the poor performance of Karachi Kings on the poor selection of Wasim Akram and the rest of the management.
Taking to Twitter account, the former captain wrote in his message, "Hello ! Surprised to see reactions on my talking to Babar at the boundary last night. What I was saying was ‘why our bowlers are not bowling yorkers or slower ones offside off’.nothing else . Babar is a wonderful boy and has tried his best. And what he wants for dinner ½”.
