[VIDEO] Waqar Younis : "I think Iftikhar Ahmed is same age as Shoaib Malik"

[sadida97]

watch from 5:10 onwards...

==


Question asked whether either Iftikhar Ahmed, Saud Shakeel, Sahibzada Farhan or Kamran Ghulam can replace Shoaib Malik/Mohamamd Hafeez

Waqar Younis: "I think Iftikhar is same age as Malik - is he same age? (Looks at Wahab Riaz who cannot stop laughing) - I am not sure to be honest. He's 29? really?" [Wahab seen shaking his head] Honestly, I don't know his age but of course if he still playing..."

Wasim Akram: "You coached him for a couple of years"

Waqar Younis: "I coached him but I don't know his age"

 

[Concerned]

Wahab couldn’t recover after that

 

[MenInG]

Seems Iftikhar's age is a running joke amongst all cricketers!

 

[Zaz]

Is he really 30-31?

 

[Rana]

He is at least 35

 

[Savak]

Takes one to know one. Waqar himself fuged his age big time.

 

[da_don]

another reason waqar is clueless.. he really did not know the age of a cricketer he coached? pathetic..

 

[Bewal Express]

He is at least 35

Sounds about right.

 

[Third Man]

Nobody knows except him and his parents, maybe. Waqar is clueless, but this is not the reason.

 

[Bewal Express]

No one knows their ages. They are mostly fake

 

[Justcrazy]

Waqar should be the last man to make fun of this because he also reduced his age by at least 3 - 4 years

 

[Third Man]

Sounds about right.

I'd say likely more, but yeah, he's not younger than that.

 

[Third Man]

From the video, it seems like he didn't know his "official" age either and he genuinely didn't know. Wow, now that is quite clueless and solidifies his image as a buffoon.

 

[Third Man]

Waqar should be the last man to make fun of this because he also reduced his age by at least 3 - 4 years

The strange thing is he was not making fun of it. Simply didn't know his official age and was quite serious when he said Iftikhar is probably the same age as Malik.

 

[Major]

He is probably 35.

But all cricketers fake their ages even the ones on this panelist aswelll.

But Iftikhar is a running joke because of how obvious his age is

 

[Snowflake]

The more I watch this show, the more baffled I get as to how Waqar was able to get a job as our coach, that too TWICE!

He comes across as extremely clueless about anything related to our team. His understanding of the game is so poor!

Also, has anyone else noticed how he is always trying to one-up Wahab while Wahab is trying his best to avoid him? I have felt a weird sense of tension between these two which is obviously not surprising... but still.

 

[TeymurBlake]

He does look atleast 10 years older, with that being said, he was in fantastic form ahead of the T20 WC. Should have been a part of the team, specially ahead of the Professor.

 

[silentkiller187]

Waqar looks like someone trying to stay relevant by making controversial comments, iftikhar looks older than he is but quite poor form for someone who use to coach the player to make such comments, misbah who I understand is a good friend of iftikhar didn’t no what to say.

 

[RexRex]

Doesn't taking a bone density scan confirm your age ? PCB can fix this issue if they really cared about it.

Totally agree. He's quite an insecure individual as well, and can't take a joke at all. All the other panelists joke about each other, but when they do it to Waqar, he gets very defensive. Must be lovely to work with. Overall, an extremely unimpressive personality.

Waqar wasn't 17 when he played,more likely around 20

They don't care about it, in fact they facilitate it. Case in point is Naseem Shah.

 

[The_KING]

This is a really good show. Waqar is ruining it though. Misbah, Wasim, Wahab and the host are really professional in the way they conduct themselves. Waqar though seems very unprofessional and this comment about Ifthikar's age is a really childish one.

I hope that this Pavilion show continues even after the world cup, but Waqar is replaced by someone who is more professional.

I totally agree! He's extremely insecure.

No surprise that there has always been trouble whenever he's been in the dressing room.

how old is he really?

I like that Fakhar e Alam has the balls to put Waqar in his place when needed. For example, the panelists were joking about how players conveniently leave the field, once they complete their quota of overs, citing an injury...and Waqar suddenly turned it around on Wahab and said something like you used to do the same. Wahab said that he's never done it and was taken a little aback.

Fakhar e Alam responded by saying that there was no need for that comment, leaving Waqar a little embarrassed.

 

[Ahmad-GERMANFC]

Wahab has been ragged on and embarrassed quite a few times on the show

Waqar should be do a show with Dr. Nauman Niaz. I reckon that both of them are perfect for each other.

 

[gazza619]

Waqar is the pure example on how to be drunk without alcohol.

 

[realitygaf]

another reason waqar is clueless.. he really did not know the age of a cricketer he coached? pathetic..

oh bhai he does, he is saying he refuses to believe he is actually 31 by hints

 

[Mo Dipsy]

Ifti in the recently concluded National T20: 409 runs @ 102 with a SR of 170. And he captained KP to the title. For all his heroics, this is the respect he gets?

Regardless of how old Ifti is, why call him out in public like this? Very disappointing from Waqar. Waqar seems to punch below the belt on a regular basis.

Because the question to the panel was with these 2 40 year olds in the team for probably the last time who do think will replace them in that batting position in the future. It was then that someone mentioned iftikhar and Waqar said do we know if he isn’t Shoaib Malik’s age as well ?

I dont believe he was calling him out for faking his age He wasnt laughing

He seemed genuine that he thought ifthiqar was about 40

 

[Snowflake]

Wahab has been ragged on and embarrassed quite a few times on the show

And it is largely down to Waqar. Though, I think everyone there understand that Waqar's digs are quite lame and he embraces himself more than he does Wahab.

Wasim's banter with Wahab is taken in the right spirit though.

 

[realitygaf]

Waqar himself is 5 years older he is closer to wasim age which is 55 but iftikhar looks just 5 years younger than wasim and Waqar

Spot on!!

Wahab seems to be most professional one and thinking one apart from fakhar e alam.
Waseem is quite diplomatic so he gets away.

umm noo.

Wahab and Waqar joke around on the show alot. No one is trying to avoid no one, and there isn't any tension.

I have watched all its shows, and Fakhar also posts bts on his fb. Wahab jokes around alot with Waqar and Waqar to retaliates.

They have their own banter going on, and Wahab even said on air that he has worked under Waqar for a long time that they have an understanding and Waqar has said on the same show that he sees him as his own son

 

[Major]

I get it that many people hate Waqar Younis, but at least stop projecting things that are not even true just because you have strong biasness against Waqar. There are alot of bts stuff posted, its a very good working group

 

[Major]

how?

Waqar was bowling coach, Iftikhar is not a bowler nor does he work under the bowling coach. He trains under the head and batting coach.

Misbah has said that the bowling area was looked after by Waqar and he never had to intervene in that

 

[moghul]

I think Iftikhar is himself to be blamed if people make fun of his age. Age fudging is common in Pakistan with Waqar, Afridi and Razzaq being the main culprit in the past but Iftikhar took the age fudging to a new level. FGS whom is he kidding.

 

[Pakpak]

This is 31 year old guy lol






Similar joke to Rashid Khan being a 22 year old, when we have seen his pics from 2011 with him supporting healthy amount of facial thick hair when he was apparently 11-12

 

[Usman]

Age fudging is nothing new in Pakistani cricket. Even Shaheen Shah Afridi once told me he is one year older than his official age. It’s just that Ifti is so obviously fudged. I agree with Waqar that Malik and Ifti are of a similar age.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Age fudging is not new to south asia.

Waqar at Iftikhars age was bowling at 126-127 km/hr and could not even york Olanga. He should give more respect to Iftikhar

Not only Waqar, Wasim seems even more clueless. One would think when you accept a job to be "expert" you at least do some research. But no these guys are so clueless.

Only Misbah seems to be up to date with what's going on in cricket world.

 

[MesonK]

Our legends bring down the current lot of players for the things that they themselves started.

17 years old Waqar

 

[JibranAnsari]

Waqar younis too is at least 6 years older than his official age. Imagine he was finished by his official age 29.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

What a great show. Wasim as usual the wittiest and smartest of the lot. The host also very funny. Misbah boring and stating the obvious as usual. Wahab ok, good story to relate about Ahmed Shahzad. And Waqar the dumbest dude around as per usual.
