The ODI World Cup 2023 has so far turned out to be a thrilling and intense cricket tournament that showcased some really interesting and unpredictable matches. Something similar happened in the 22nd match of the tournament, where Afghanistan stunned Pakistan and registered a historic win over them. The defeat marked Pakistan’s third consecutive loss in the tournament and was the first time they had ever lost to the Afghan side in an ODI.
Understandably, this disappointing performance left fans and cricket experts alike frustrated and disappointed. Among those expressing their discontent was former Pakistan cricket superstar Wasim Akram.

Wasim Akram’s outburst​

In the aftermath of Pakistan’s defeat to Afghanistan, Akram did not hold back his criticism of the team during a live television show called ‘The Pavilion’ on A Sports. He strongly criticized the team’s fitness standards and was particularly vocal about the players’ physical condition, stating, “If I start taking individual names, their faces will drop. Looks like these guys are eating 8 kilos of mutton every day. Should there not be tests?”

in 1999? Then we found out after the game they had fixed the
match.

This isn't something new. A decade ago, legendary Pak batsmen Ejaz Ahmed openly criticised PCB for allowing players to visit family and friends when touring England. Pak players would be invited to large gatherings and consume large unhealthy meals, such as Samosas, Pakory and kebabs. Pak players never took their fitness serious and certainly never played to win. Playing foreign tours is an opportunity for a glamour vacation for the players and their families.

Pakistani muslims should remember that many of them are Dalits or from backward castes who converted to islam( to escape caste oppression)....it is highly insensitive on their part to use words like chamar.

 

[Olympus81]

They converted to Islam for a variety of reasons.

Who are you to judge they converted only to escape caste oppression?

@waz time for a cleanup bro!

And what relevance is it to me or any muslim from south Asia to know our ancestors were once hindus?

Wasim Akram @alphapak , saw choway kha cur bilee Hajj ko chalee . He is a big time fixer of his time. Lost all big tournaments.

Humey humara "chamar" Mubarak.. aapko aapki fauj.

Allah karein ki agley 1000 saal tak humey yahi "chaamar" govt. milti rahien aur aapko Pizza hut walien Gernail..

If you open Justice Qayum report then most cricketers of his time
will be in the fixers list, they are lucky they were dealing with Pakistani
Kangaroo courts.

This wasn't the case for Salman Butt, Asif and Amir in 2010. They all got banned
and served prison time as well. I wont be surprised if they are fixing matches in this 2023
world cup as well on the orders of higher ups.
