An error from the broadcasters left Pakistan legend Wasim Akram fuming ahead of the the Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday. Former Pakistan captain Akram, who is working as a presenter for the tournament, was stumped when the playing XI presented to him by the broadcasters after the toss did not include pacer Shahnawaz Dahani. Akram said he had spoken to Pakistan batting coach Mohammad Yousuf and he had told him that Dahani was going to play.
The confusion was cleared up and he was given the correct XI, which did include Dahani, but Akram could not contain his anger, criticising the error in “a big game”.
