Former Pakistan Cricket Team pacer Shoaib Akhtar was extremely frustrated after his side’s loss. The Men in Green were handed a humiliating 6-wicket loss at the hands of Team India in the ICC Champions Trophy. Akhtar then went on to question the caliber and the skills of the players. He claimed that he had not seen any talent in the squad.
Shoaib Akhtar expressed his frustration claiming that he has been hearing that the Pakistani team is talented. But then Akhtar questioned that Talented players score runs and take wickets. Both were missing from the IND vs PAK clash yesterday.
“Would you rate Babar to Virat?, Would you rate Shreyas Iyer to Khushdil Shah? Would you rate Rohit Sharma to Mohammad Rizwan? For the past ten years I am listenting this is a talented group. Where is the talent? You become star by socring runs and taking wickets. I can’t see any talent,” Shoaib Akhtar said on the show Game On Hai.
Shoaib Akhtar claimed that it is impossible to compare Indian players with that of Pakistani players. He even went on to question the talent of the team. He further added that he was disappointed with such a heartless performance from the Men in Green.

“It was an utterly disappointing and heartless performance from Pakistan. But we should not be surprised because its not happening for the first time. We talk about intent all the time but I think they even don’t have the skillset. i don’t know what to tell them they are just not good enough,” he added.
“It is a clueless management, brainless captaincy. Absolutely average team who displayed their average skillset out in the middle and there is nothing to talk about it. They don’t have any game awareness,” he concluded.
