Kamran Akmal takes jibe at Shoaib Akhtar
Akhtar’s comments comes on the backdrop of Akmal’s recent comment on the former bowler for slamming Babar Azam’s communication skills. Speaking to a local TV channel, Akhtar had said, “I want to openly say this that Babar Azam should be the biggest brand of Pakistan, but why he hasn’t become the biggest brand in Pakistan? Because he can’t speak,”.
Karan while defending Babar said, “I think Shoaib was not getting enough time on screen, that’s why he has said such a thing to keep himself in the headlines. He is improving day by day as far as his speaking and media handling is concerned. In fact, the number of ads he is doing right now is no match to what Shoaib Akhtar does,”.
