Shoaib Akhtar's brutal dig over ‘unqualified’ Babar Azam's appointment as Pakistan captain: ‘Who was the Einstein’

Hindustan Times  

Veteran Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has once again lashed out at Babar Azam for his captaincy and also took a shot at the PCB for reinstating him as the skipper. Pakistan's captain Babar Azam throws his bat after losing his wicket during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup cricket match. Earlier last year, Babar relinquished his captaincy after the team's poor show in the ODI World Cup as Shaheen Afridi took over the charge as the T20I skipper. Akhtar didn't mince his words while criticising Babar's captaincy and said he didn't qualify for the job as he also took a dig at the person who decided to name him the captain.
