Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar lavished praise on pace merchant Shaheen Shah Afridi ahead of the eagerly-anticipated clash between the arch-rivals – India and Pakistan in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023.
Ahead of the contest, Shoaib spoke on multiple facets in a light-hearted discussion in a recent interview. In the midst of the conversation, the former pacer heaped praise on Shaheen’s performances, however, wanted more ‘arrogance’ from the speedster.
“Shaheen (Afridi) is a great asset. But you know, the arrogance is missing (laughs). That’s all. I mean even if I was bowling under 135 kmph but I’ll be cursing at 145kmph! So that is missing,” Shoaib Akhtar told on ‘Wake Up With Sorabh’ (YouTube Channel).
