As the ODI World Cup 2023 approaches, Shoaib Akhtar blasts India management for having “no settled squad for the past two years.” Days after Team India unveiled their lineup for the ODI World Cup 2023, former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar criticised them for being overly uneasy over the previous two years. Akhtar demanded more of the batting unit’s leaders, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, during a Star Sports-sponsored event, saying that the team shouldn’t constantly rely on its younger players.

I’m a huge Virat Kohli fan. I’m all for those players, but you have to put up a show every day because you have to.
