Shoaib Akhtar praises Andy Flower, takes a dig at Lahore Qalandars

Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar heaped praise on head coach Andy Flower after Multan Sultans beat Peshawar Zalmi to win their maiden HBL PSL title on Thursday.

While speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, the former speedster lauded Sultans’ management for their professional approach throughout the event.

“Andy Flower looks a very serious man. He means business wherever he goes. Sultans’ management is very smart. Azhar Mahmood also helped in making a great team. Andy Flower is a great guy and a one man army. He united a team, which was down. Despite change of owner and the captain, he made them perform,” Akhtar said.

Akhtar also took a dig at the management of Lahore Qalandars, who failed to qualify for playoffs of HBL PSL 6.

“You have to mean business. If Lahore Qalandars will play 30 dot balls in an innings, how will they win? The coaching staff needs to think how to get rid of these dot balls, but again there is no method to their approach. Lahore Qalandars management have very limited cricketing sense,” he said.
