Mohammad Hafeez Attacks '90s Pakistan Stars', Sparks Awkward Interaction With Pakistan Great

An awkward incident took place on live television between former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez and pace great Shoaib Akhtar.

Former Pakistan pacer Akhtar, who was also part of the side during the 90s and early 2000s, was also part of the same discussion, but he seemed agitated while Hafeez was having a go at the former players.

"There's No Doubt That...": New Zealand Coach's Blunt Take On 'Unfair Advantage' Row

New Zealand coach Gary Stead conceded that Varun Chakravarthy will be a “big threat” in the Champions Trophy final, and the Kiwis will put on their “thinking caps” to work on the ways to negate India's mystery spinner. India will face New Zealand in the final of the ICC showpiece here on Sunday. “We certainly expect him to play after getting 5/42 against us in the last game. He's a class bowler, and showed his skills against us last time and he's a big threat in the game,” Stead told reporters on Friday. “So we'll be putting our thinking caps on around how we nullify that and how we can still score runs against him,” he added.

Pakistan Great's "Dubai Boys" Jibe At 90s Stars: "Throw Money In Front Of Them..."

Former captain Rashid Latif has launched a scathing attack on Pakistan legends, who represented the team in the 90s. This comes days after Latif, in a separate discussion, urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to keep the 1992 World Cup-winning team away from the management. "It took 17 years [for Pakistan to win another World Cup] because the 90s players did not spare Pakistan cricket. Keep 90s players away from management and from the team as well then they will try to win. They have been serving Pakistan cricket for so long now. So, I think they should rest now," Latif had said on Geo News show 'Harna Mana Hai'.

The Kiwis arrived here on Thursday evening ahead of the ICC showpiece's title clash against India on March 9. "They've played all their games here in Dubai and know that surface.
