Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has grabbed the headlines once again after walking out of a TV show following disagreements with the anchor.

Akhtar, during the live program for T20 World Cup on PTV Sports, said he is resigning as a cricket analyst of the channel as he had been treated badly and insulted on air by the host Nauman Niaz.

Shoaib took off his microphone and left after Nauman called him rude and added that he is free to leave the show if he wants to.

The video of the incident went viral on social media and Akhtar took to Twitter to clarify his position.

“Multiple clips are circulating on social media so I thought I shud clarify.dr noman was abnoxious and rude wen he asked me to leave the show,it was embarrassing specially wen u have legends like sir Vivian Richards and David gower sitting on the set with some of my contemporaries,” Akhtar tweeted.

“and seniors and millions watching. I tried to save everyone from embarrassment by saying I was pulling dr nomans leg with this mutual understanding that dr noman will also politely apologise and we will move on with the show ,which he refused to do. Then I had no other choice,” he added.

Shoaib also shared a video and said he demanded an apology from Nauman Niaz but the host didn’t budge and started discussing the match.

The entire turn of events happened after Pakistan’s five-wicket victory over New Zealand in the ongoing T20 World Cup in Sharjah on Tuesday (October 26).

During the post-match show, Shoaib Akhtar was analysing the performance of Pakistani bowlers when the discussion turned ugly between him and the host.
