WATCH: Wasim Akram silences Hasan Raza’s controversial accusations on India of using different balls to get swing

Former legendary Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram has expressed his discontent with another former Pakistan cricketer Hasan Raza’s recent remarks regarding the cricket balls used in matches involving India. The ex-cricketer has been getting brutally trolled on social media due to his baseless remarks on the Indian team.

Raza’s claim that India are benefiting from different balls that aid their bowlers in achieving more swing has raised eyebrows in the cricketing world. 

“We are seeing that when they are batting, they bat really well and suddenly the ball starts doing things when India bowl. There have been 7-8 close DRS calls that have gone in their favour. The way Siraj and Shami were swinging the ball, it seemed like the Apex Cricket Council or the Indian Cricket Board were giving them different and suspicious balls in the second innings. There needs to be an inspection done on the ball. There could also be an extra layer of coating on the ball for swing,” Raza was quoted as saying by India Today.

You will get us humiliated as well: Wasim Akram

However, Akram, known for his remarkable skills in swing bowling, questioned the validity of such allegations without taking Raza’s name. He highlighted that the quality of the ball should not be used as an excuse for a team’s performance. The debate over ball quality has ignited discussions, but it’s essential to remember that cricket is a game where skill, strategy, and teamwork play pivotal roles in success.

“I have been reading about it for the last couple of days. I want to have the same thing these guys are having, sounds like fun because their mind is not there. You will embarrass yourself and you will get us humiliated as well in front of the whole world. A box having 10 balls is carried by an official to two dressing rooms. Both teams pick two balls as their first and second options. The selected balls along with the remaining ones are handed over to the match referee, who then delivers them to the on-field umpires. Indian bowlers are getting more swing because they are doing something more and have learned the art,” Akram said.
