Amidst these situations full of questions, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has given a shocking statement. He has justified the demand of increasing revenue after adopting hybrid model.

Shoaib Akhtar's opinion differs on one of the two conditions of Pakistan

Shoaib Akhtar, while giving an interview to a Pakistani channel, said that he agrees with the idea of ​​increasing the revenue of Pakistan Cricket Board if the tournament is played in the hybrid model. However, he does not agree with the second demand of PCB. He said why the Pakistan team will not go to India, it should definitely go.

'Kill them right there'- Shoaib Akhtar

Akhtar said that Pakistan's decision on getting more revenue is absolutely right. But if the matter is about going to India and playing ICC tournaments in the future, then it seems that Pakistan should not back down on that. He should extend his hand of friendship and go there. He said go to India, play there and beat them there.
