Shoaib Akhtar slams Pakistan TV channel for taking him off air after spat with host Nauman Niaz: Is PTV crazy?

Former fast bowler-turned-cricket expert Shoaib Akhtar lashed out at a Pakistan news channel for taking him off air following his verbal spat with the host Dr. Nauman Niaz during a live show this week.

Akhtar had walked out of a TV programme and resigned from his job as a cricket analyst after being told to leave the set by the host of the show at state-owned PTV while analysing Pakistan’s victory over New Zealand at the T20 World Cup.

Interestingly, PTV tweeted on Thursday night saying that it has “decided to take both Nauman Niaz and Shoaib Akhtar off-air until the inquiry of the spat between the two completes”.

Akhtar was bemused with the announcement as he claims to have already resigned from the show.
