Islamabad:  Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has now reacted to the statement given by Shahid Afridi, where he said that pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is paying for his own rehabilitation in England and is staying in the country on his own money.  

Akram said that if this is true then it is indeed shocking as Shaheen Afridi is a top player and is "box-office". He also said that it would be really unfair if the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not looking after their main stars. "If this is true, this is really shocking. He is one of our top players, he is box-office. If PCB do not look after this kid, and if this is true (what Shahid Afridi said), then it is unfair. He should have straightaway been sent to the best knee surgeon in the world. But he is looking after all this himself, I am still shocked about it," Akram said in an interview with local news channel.
