LONDON (Dunya News) – Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram was on Tuesday left high and dry at the airport after the authorities humiliated him for carrying insulin, the legendary fast bowler tweeted.
Wasim Akram posted details of how airport officials behaved rudely with him and didn t take proper care of his diabetes medication. Patients have to carry diabetes medication in cold cases but Akram was asked to take them out and put them in a plastic bag.
Akram was first diagnosed with Type I diabetes in 1997 when he was the captain of the Pakistan team and at the peak of his career. He has been taking insulin injections multiple times a day ever since.
"Very disheartened at Manchester airport today, I travel around the world with my insulin but never have I been made to feel embarrassed. Felt very humiliated as I was rudely questioned & ordered publicly to take my insulin out of its travel cold-case & dumped in to a plastic bag," Wasim Akram wrote in a post on his Twitter account.
An important member of the 1992 World Cup winning team, Akram has 414 wickets to his name in 104 Tests and 502 ODI wickets in 356 matches.
The 53-year old was part of the commentary team at the just-concluded World Cup in England and Wales.
