Wasim Akram describes how Imran Khan abandoned him on a remote island.
Wasim Akram, a former pacer for Pakistan, remembered amusing anecdotes about his good times with PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan in an interview that is currently doing the rounds on the internet.
The sultan of swing recalled one such incident from the beginning of his career and stated that while Khan was a rigorous captain, he was also incredibly funny.
Akram stated that the pacer once accepted Khan’s invitation to accompany him to a nightclub. Akram claimed that Khan had never consumed alcohol before arriving at the club and had instead purchased a pint of milk.
The quick bowler was astonished to see his then-captain shaking hands with women, though. When only girls lined up to shake Imran’s hand, Akram said, “I just said that’s awesome.”
Another time, Akram claimed that Khan left him on a US island where the two had travelled to visit the PTI chief’s acquaintance.
“He drove us to the airport with one of his female pals; she had a private aircraft. So, after a 45-minute flight into a remote island, we boarded a private plane. They entered the house to talk. Okay, what should we do next, I said? We are on an island in the middle of South America, so we can’t even return to the hotel “Akram described the incident.
Throughout their careers, Akram and Khan have both played together. The 1992 World Cup-winning team included Akram, and the previous premier served as its captain.
