On 16 October 2022, the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup kicked off in Australia. Sri Lanka took on Namibia in the first match of the tournament. Ahead of that match, former players like Wasim Akram, Shoaib Malik, and Misbah-ul-Haq were seen in a program named “The Pavillion.” “A Sports” posted the pre-match show of the World Cup opener on their official YouTube channel.
This is a LIVE show that brings fans the inside stories of LIVE cricketing events from the team performance of the 20-20 World Cup to insights into the game. However, the video went viral where Wasim Akram slammed his native people for favouring foreign commentators over them.
Here is the shared video:
Wasim Akram will not be a part of the 20-20 World Cup 2022 as a commentator
Speaking of the video, an interview with Wanindu Hasaranga was being telecasted on that show. In reference to that, the host said that the spinner looked under some pressure during that interview. In response to that, Wasim Akram said: “It’s not their fault. When we were young also, we used to have such pressure.”
Then, the former Pakistani pacer shared the main problem in the Pakistan team. He said that teammates, who did not even know a single word of English, used to make fun of when Akram tried to speak in English for the first time in 1984. Then, the host said: “That is Pakistan. You know. Even if we do not know we will have opinions.”
Then, Akram said: “Pakistani people! first, they do not like our (myself, Waqar Younis, Ramiz Raza, Ameer Sohail) commentary. It seems like Shakespeare was their grandfather. You know, we should have options like Richie Benaud, and Bill Lawry. Suddenly, David Gower came and the whole country was celebrating. It seemed like they met their grandfather who got lost earlier.” Apparently, fans hailed the Pakistan Cricket Board for having David Gower as one of the commentators for their recent home seven-match T20I series against England. Speaking of the ongoing 20-20 World Cup in Australia, Wasim Akram will not be seen as one of the commentators.
