'Had enough, so I called him up recently & told him to shut up': Asif on Akhtar

The Mohammad Asif-Shoaib Akhtar spat at the 2007 World T20 has dominated headlines even several years after it happened. In 2007, reports surfaced that former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had hit his teammate Asif with a bat. The reports were confirmed later and Akhtar was called back from the 2007 ICC World T20 in South Africa. The incident was been talked about a lot in the past and recently shot up again when Shahid Afridi was asked about it. Akhtar had previously talked about the incident in his autobiography, Controversially Yours, where he accused Afridi of aggravating the situation. Afridi recently replied in an interview as he denied aggravating the situation. “Things happen,” Afridi told Samaa.tv.

“Asif had sided with me in a joke which enraged Shoaib and all this happened. But Shoaib has a very beautiful heart.”

Now, Asif has also responded to the incident and has asked Akhtar to ‘shut up’ about the spat. Asif said Akhtar has lived off the incident for 13 years and made so many comments about it. He revealed that he called up the 'Rawalpindi Express' and told him to 'move on' from it
