Shoaib Akhtar chucking row: What was Sehwag’s comments on Akhtar?
“Shoaib knows he used to jerk his elbow; he knew he was chucking too. Why would ICC ban him otherwise? Brett Lee’s hand came down straight, so it was easy to pick the ball. But with Shoaib, you could never guess where the hand and the ball will come from,” Sehwag had said on Sports 18.

Shoiab Akhtar reacts – Not to take things lying down, the Pakistani cricketer has asked his rival to be cautious before passing any controversial remark. “Cricketers should make sure their statements don’t disturb the harmony between India and Pakistan. If there’s scope for improvement in relations between the two countries, I should be able to play that bridge.
I request Sehwag to be mindful while making such statements in the age of social media. I would request Virender Sehwag not to make such statements. If he knows more than the ICC, then I would agree with him. But that is his opinion. Rest, I can’t say much about that,” Akhtar told Sportskeeda.
