Pakistan’s chances of qualifying for the next round of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia are minimal. After losing out in a close encounter against arch-rivals India, Babar Azam & Co. went on to be the victim of an upset against Zimbabwe as they a the potentially comeback game by just 1 run.

After two consecutive losses, Pakistan are finding themselves in the bottom half of the points table. Reacting to poor performances, many cricket pundits are pointing out the areas where they feel Pakistan made mistakes to let their people down. Even former Pakistani skipper Wasim Akram expressed his opinions in a chat session on his country channel A Sports.

However, it was a fan’s question that caught all the attention of the fans. The fan questioned: “Why does Mohammad Rizwan keep wearing lip balm when no other cricketer playing in the tournament is doing so”. But Akram didn’t entertain the fan as he felt the question wasn’t related to the game in any manner.

“This is such a random question, where is the subject matter of cricket in this? Are you guys sitting this idle? I cannot answer this crap,” Akram replied. The video is doing the rounds on the internet as netizens feel bad for Rana Irfan, the man behind the query.

In a recent interview with the Times, the 1992 World Cup winner revealed that he became addicted to cocaine after calling off his cricketing career. Wasim Akram went on to say that the addiction made him volatile and at one point, he felt that his body could no longer function without the doses.

“The culture of fame in south Asia is all consuming, seductive and corrupting. You can go to 10 parties a night, and some do. And it took its toll on me. It made me volatile. It made me deceptive. Huma, I know, was often lonely in this time… she would talk of her desire to move to Karachi, to be nearer her parents and siblings. I was reluctant. Why? Partly because I liked going to Karachi on my own, pretending it was work when it was actually about partying, often for days at a time,” he said.
