Shoaib Akhtar, after Pakistan’s defeat in the WC final, has asked the team to lift the ODI World Cup in the Wankhade Stadium next year and become heroes. Lauding the team, he said, “It’s ok guys, I stand with you Pakistan. Shaheen’s injury was a turning point. It was unfortunate but it’s ok. You have made me happy because Pakistan put up a marvellous fight tonight. India’s bowling couldn’t save them from this England batting lineup, they couldn’t take one wicket. While Pakistan gave them trouble. Even with a leg spinner, they halted England’s momentum.”
