Former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram has shared some of the funniest most memorable times from the early days of his career and a hilarious rendezvous with the then captain Imran Khan.
The Sultan of Swing, during an interview, revealed that his former skipper Khan left him on a deserted island in South America. Akram also said that Imran Khan was a tough captain yet he had a lot of bittersweet memories with him.
In response to how it felt circuiting with Khan, the left-hand bowler retold a story of the awkward yet hilarious situation Khan got them into. Akram suggested, “Imran Khan said ‘Let’s go to a nightclub in his husky voice.’ I was like, ‘I’m ready, captain’, then we went to a club where he ordered a pint of milk, which was weird. I was also surprised to see so many girls wanting to shake hands with him.”
Akram continued that from there, a friend of Khan took them to an island in South America in her private plane which was a 45-minute flight. The pair of friends went home to ‘gossip’ while they were left alone.
In a fit of laughter, Akram said, “I was standing in the middle of an island, unable to even go back to the hotel.”
