Shoaib Akhtar backs Afridi's claims of being treated harshly
I think Shahid Afridi has written less in his book about the harsh treatment
(Web Desk) – Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar has backed the claims made by his ex-teammate Shahid Afridi in his latest autobiography titled ‘Game Changer’.
In his autobiography titled Game Changer , Afridi has claimed that he was at the receiving end of harsh treatment by seniors during his playing days and cited the example of former coach Javed Miandad, who according to him did not let him bat at the nets before a Test against India in Chennai in 1999.
"I think Shahid Afridi has written less in his book about the harsh treatment he received from senior players during his playing days. I witnessed some of it with my own eyes and totally agree with him," Akhtar was quoted as saying in a TV programme Game On Hai .
Akhtar also claimed that 10 senior players had later apologised to them. "Later down the years, 10 of these senior players asked us for forgiveness, before leaving for Umrah, for the way they treated us," he said.
