Former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram was left both amused and angered at a fan question about wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022. Ever since Pakistan lost their first two matches against India and Zimbabwe in the Super 12s stage, fans have been questioning everything about their players.
Analyzing the game for Pakistan channel A Sports, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram was left fuming when a fan asked about Mohammad Rizwan applying lip balm.
The fan's question was: "Why does Mohammad Rizwan keep wearing lip balm when no other cricketer playing in the tournament is doing so".
To this, the legendary pacer said: "This is such a random question, where is the subject matter of cricket in this? Are you guys sitting this idle? I cannot answer this crap."
Akram has been in the news ever since him revealing that he was addicted to cocaine post his playing career and how he only managed to quit after the death of his first wife Huma.
As per a BBC report, Akram said: "The culture of fame in south Asia is all-consuming, seductive and corrupting. You can go to 10 parties a night, and some do. And it took its toll on me. Huma's last selfless, unconscious act was curing me of my drug problem. That way of life was over, and I have never looked back.”
