Wasim Akram, the renowned Pakistani cricket legend, expressed his disappointment over the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) omission of cricket icon Imran Khan from a video highlighting the accomplishments in the history of the Pakistani team since its inception in 1952.
Wasim Akram took to his X account stating, “, I was profoundly shocked when I came across PCB’s brief video recounting the history of Pakistan cricket, which conspicuously lacked the presence of the esteemed Imran Khan”
He further emphasized the fact that Imran Khan’s valuable contributions to cricket cannot be disregarded. He called for the video to be retracted and an apology from the PCB for the oversight.
“Setting political disparities aside, Imran Khan remains a global cricket icon who transformed Pakistan into a formidable force during his era, providing us with direction. PCB should promptly remove the video and extend an apology,”
The PCB has faced backlash over the past 48 hours for excluding Imran Khan as he is widely regarded for leading the team to its sole World Cup Victory in 1992.
