Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar accused the ICC of not being neutral after the apex body gave a cheeky reply to Akhtar’s claims that he can dismiss Australia’s Steve Smith in a jiffy.
Akhtar had taken to social media to respond to a poll on ESPNCricinfo that pitted some of the best in the business from the previous era with bowlers and batsmen from the modern-day.
Responding to the post that had pitted Akhtar against Smith, the Pakistani said, “Even today, 3 hurting bouncers and I can dismiss @stevesmith49 on the 4th ball. Lol.”

The International Cricket Council used a series of images featuring basketball star Michael Jordan to pull Akhtar’s leg after he claimed that he can get Smith out on the fourth delivery after three “hurting” bouncers.
