Controversy between Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Akhtar over an old statement during PSL; Know more
Shoaib Akhtar Hit Back At Mohammed Hafeez: During the Champions Trophy, Hafeez had said that the cricketers of the 1990s have not left any legacy for the next generation of players. On this, Akhtar has now hit back at Hafeez during the PSL.
There was a noteworthy incident in a thrilling match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) of the year 2025 in which the veteran pacer of Pakistan, Shoaib Akhtar, engaged in a heated argument with the former captain of the country, Mohammad Hafeez, regarding a statement given by Hafeez during the ICC Champions Trophy a while back when he questioned the cricketers of the decade of the 1990s.
After Pakistan's poor performance in the Champions Trophy, Hafeez had said, "I am a fan of the players of the 90s, but when it comes to legacy, they left nothing. They played in the 1996, 1999, and 2003 World Cups, but the team never got title success. Reached the final in 1999, but lost badly there too."
There was no reaction to this statement of Hafeez then, but while commentating during a PSL match, Shoaib Akhtar openly expressed his displeasure. He said, "There was a time when legends like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis won many matches and series for Pakistan. I have seen with my own eyes that they won at least 60 matches. And now someone says that they did not leave a legacy? Then who left the legacy? Did you (Hafeez) leave?"
