Akram told Gulf News, “I do support Imran Bhai (brother) but I haven’t joined any political party.”
The renowned cricket commentator further said that Imran helped him a lot in his career, and played a key role in his success. Akram had said, “Imran was instrumental for my success. But for him, I wouldn’t have known how to bowl to some of the best batsmen in the world. It was he who told me the strong points and weaknesses of some of the top batsmen. I have always listened to his advice very carefully.”
Wasim also said that he supports Khan’s Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC). Meanwhile, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Foundation Limited (SKMCFL) is registered with the Australian Charities & Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC).
Akram signed off by saying, “I will be flying to Australia in April with regard to Imran’s hospital launch. Since Imran will be busy with politics he had asked to me if I would be free to go there.”
