Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram criticizes Pakistan for celebrating potential “next” legends, saying the message comes despite a poor England tour. He refers to remarks about a “next Younis” and “next Waqar Younis,” linking the praise to a moment he says Pakistan should have focused on performance instead.
Akram’s comments come after Pakistan’s tour of England ends with heavy defeats in all three Tests. The team loses the first Test by an innings and 103 runs, the second by 194 runs, and the third by eight wickets. NDTV reports Akram’s criticism as part of his broader reaction to what he describes as premature celebration amid disappointing results.
While both accounts highlight the same tour outcomes and his remarks about “next” players, they frame the criticism through slightly different wording—“next Younis” in one instance and “next Waqar Younis” in the other—without changing the underlying context of the England results.
