India’s X-factor Mohammed Shami has lashed out at former Pakistan cricketer Hasan Raza for his allegations against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). Raza had said that there needs to be an inspection of the ball as Indian bowlers are getting more swing than other players. Shami took to Instagram and said that Raza should at least listen to the legendary Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram.
“Sharm karo yaar game par focus karo na ki faltu bakwas par kabi to dusre ki success ko enjoy kia karo chii yaar ICC World Cup hai apk local tournament, nahi hai or Ap player hi the na. (Shame on you, focus on the game and not on this usesless nonsense. Learn to enjoy others sucess too. This is ICC World Cup, not a local tournament. You were a player as well, right?),” Shami wrote in a post.
“Wasim bhai ne samjhaya hai explain kia tha phir bhir. Hahahahhahahahahaah (smileys) apne player apne Wasim Akram par yakin nahi apko (smiley) apna tarif karne main lage hai janab apto just like a wow (Wasim bhai explained it clearly but still… At least believe your own Wasim Akram… You are always trying to praise yourself... just like a wow.)”
In addition, Raza had also questioned the several DRS calls that went India’s way including the dismissal of Heinrich Klaasen by Ravindra Jadeja.
"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," Raza was quoted as saying on a Pakistan news channel.
"The way Siraj and Shami were swinging the ball, it seemed like the ICC or the BCCI 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," he added.
India have continued their unbeaten run in World Cup 2023 whereas there is a big question mark on whether Pakistan will be able to reach the semifinals or not.
