The technique of playing a popular sport like cricket changes with time, as new players keep upgrading themselves and introducing new ones. But what has irked former Pakistani legendary bowler Wasim Akram is players sticking to their phones.
Mocking the young players who stick to their smartphones, Akram recently acted out the players in a hilarious way in a show and also jibed at them.
