Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar made a gaffe on live television when he referred to Multan Sultans head coach Andy Flower as British tennis player Andy Murray.

In a video posted by a Twitter user, former speedster is seen discussing the inclusion of veteran all-rounder Shahid Afridi in Multan Sultan’s playing XI.

“Shahid Afridi, Andy Murray is playing him,” said Akhtar.

While talking to media in Lahore before the start of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 5, Flower said that he was proud to be part of a successful and growing Twenty20 (T20) league.

“I am very proud to be here in Pakistan actually,” Flower said. “I first toured Pakistan in the 90s and visited the county numerous times. I have got some really good friends in Pakistan. It’s a proud moment for me to represent the southern Punjab region of Pakistan through Multan Sultans.”

“I am very happy to be here and honoured to be invited to be part of this league,” he added.
