Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram was left furious after the broadcasters flashed the wrong playing XI for the Pakistan side ahead of the blockbuster match against India in Asia Cup 2022.

Akram claimed he got to know about Pakistan's playing XI ahead of the game from Pakistan batting coach Mohammad Yousuf and he was delighted with the players chosen for the game.

“I am very happy with the Pakistan XI. I wanted Shahnawaz Dahani...Hasan Ali is playing, Rauf is playing. I thought Dahani is playing, but obviously, he is not in the team. Guys are you sure this is the playing XI. Obviously, I was wrong. I was told by Yousuf that Dahani is playing. So if the batting coach does not know there is something wrong somewhere," he said.

Later on, Wasim Akram was informed by the TV presenter regarding the error made during the pre-match analysis and he lashed out.

"Don't keep me happy, keep that guy happy who is putting the wrong team out there guys. It is a big game, it's not a small mistake," he maintained.
