WATCH: ‘Fast bowler ko Shoaib Akhtar ki tarah hona chahiye, khaufnak’ – Former Pakistan cricketer’s bold claim on current pacers

Pakistan had a fantastic chance to win the recently finished home T20I series against New Zealand after winning the first two matches, but the Kiwis staged an incredible comeback, and the series ended 2-2. As a result, fans were not pleased with the Men in Green’s performance, and their bowlers were brutally bashed.

Former Pakistan pacer Sikandar Bakht was seen slamming a Pakistan pacer in a viral video. He mentioned a bowler on the team who simply shaves to stay gorgeous. However, as a fast bowler, he should be more aggressive, similar to Shoaib Akhtar, he said. He appeared to be taking a subtle dig at Naseem Shah.

“Ye abhi immature hai. Inme bechaini hai, mai hero ban jaun. Jaise hamare fast bowler hai jo sirf shave hi karte rehte hai, khoobsurat hai. Fast bowler ko khoobsurat nahi hona chahiyeunko Shoaib Akhtar ki tarah hona chahciye, khaufnaak, khoonkar kisam ka, aakhon me se khoon tapakna chahiye. Wo fast bowler hota hai, ye fast bowler nahi hai.

“Ye to shoshaa karte hai, matlab batsmen se jaake hath mila rahe hai. Chakke wo maar raha hai aapko, aap haath mila rahe hai jaa kar. Aap hath na milaye usse kabhi bhi jaake. Mujhe ye nafrat hai ki koi fast bowler jaake batsman se haath milaye. Kyu bhai? Wo to aapko chakke chowke maar raha hai, aapki beizzati kar raha hai,” he said.

As for Naseem Shah, he only appeared in the third T20I against the Kiwis. In that game, Shah let up 30 runs in four overs without taking a wicket. Before this series, he struggled in the T20I series against Afghanistan. He only took one wicket in two matches. The Men in Green are currently hosting New Zealand in a five-match One-Day International series. Naseem Shah is also a member of the squad.
