Wasim Akram You can't do this with Babar Azam #BabarAzam #KarachiKings #Rizwan#Khushdil Shah pic.twitter.com/qGuJoJl5fB
We should keep this @wasimakramlive as faar as possible from our cricketers. These old legends are toxic people, can’t do job professionally and always ready to put blame on others. Better bowler and better coach is different thing. #qayyumReport
