'Ehne kele taan....': Wasim Akram lambasts Pakistan over defeat against India in champions trophy
PTC News Desk: Pakistan is seemingly fuming over defeat against India and if the loss wasn't enough, Pakistan cricket team was knocked out of the tournament while still hosting the remaining matches.
After the latest setback, Wasim Akram lashed out at Pakistan and castigated the team for their diet. "I think it was the first or second drinks break, and there was a plate full of bananas for the players. Itne kele toh bandar bhi nahi khaate (Even monkeys don't eat so many bananas). And it's their food. Had it been our captain Imran Khan, he would have given me a beating over it," Akram said on a post-match show.
Wasim Akram-"Aaj match ke daoraan bowlers ke liye banana's ki 2 trays aayi. Mein kaha ennay kele te baandar nahi khaande" ????????

"Drastic steps needed. We are playing archaic cricket in white-ball for ages. This need to change. Bring fearless cricketers, young blood into the team. If you have to make five-six changes. Please make it. You keep losing for next six months. Its fine but start building team for World T20 2026 from now onwards," he added.
Akram rebuked Pakistan cricket team while also highlighting the alarming statistics over country's bowling unit for its persistent failures on the international platform.
"Enough is enough. You have made them the stars. In the last five ODIs, Pakistan bowlers have managed to get 24 wickets at an average of 60. That is 60 runs per wicket."
