Why did the anchor of the state TV ask Shoaib Akhtar to leave the show during the show?
Pakistan's star fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has announced his resignation in a live show after being insulted by an anchor of a state TV show.
Speed star Shoaib Akhtar praised Harris Rauf for his outstanding performance in the ICC T20 World Cup and gave credit to the Lahore Qalandars Player Development Program.
The host of the state TV may not have liked Qalandars' praise and in response he behaved rudely towards Shoaib Akhtar and asked him to leave the show.
Dr. Noman should immediately be removed from @PTVSp0rts on a permanent basis 🤬🤬🤬
