Rashid Latif, a former Pakistan captain, implicitly unleashed a stinging assault on legends Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis for their harsh criticism of Mohammad Rizwan's squad following their humbling Champions Trophy group-stage defeat.

Pakistan's season ended last month after they failed to win a single game in the tournament in which they were the host nation.

The statement came after Rashid warned former cricketers, particularly those from the 1990s, to stay away from Pakistan cricket.

Speaking on Geo News' 'Harna Mana Hai,' the former wicketkeeper batter said: “It took 17 years [for Pakistan to win another World Cup] because the 90s players did not spare Pakistan cricket. Keep 90s players away from management and the team as well then they will try to win. They have been serving Pakistan cricket for so long now. So, I think they should rest now.”

The statement was recalled during his engagement on the YouTube channel 'Caught Behind,' where he savagely insulted Akram and Waqar, calling them "Dubai ke launde (Boys from Dubai)."

Notably, the two former cricketers stationed themselves in the UAE for the duration of the Champions Trophy due to broadcasting obligations.

"Yeh Dubai ke laundon ne tabahi pehla diya hai. Dono ek dusre ke taarifen kar kar ke khush ho raha hai. Zindagi bhar ladte rahe, hume aag me phek diya aur...kamal log hai. Inke aage paisa phenko, yeh kuch bhi kardenge (Dubai boys have created a ruckus. They are happy praising each other. They fought throughout their career, which hurt Pakistan cricket...interesting people. Throw money in front of them; they will do anything)," Latif said.
