Shoaib Akhtar clarifying reports on TV:
"Had he not been there for me in the late 90s, I would not have been able to play for Pakistan"
"At the same time, I can say with guarantee that in such difficult matches where I had to raise my hands (in surrender); let me give a reference of one match, at Headingley where Damien Martyn was playing me with ease; There Wasim Bhai took the ball from me; In Jamshedpur also he took control of the ball and started taking wickets"
"So there were many such periods of time where I could have been in trouble and my performance would have resulted in a loss for Pakistan but he saved me"
"For me Wasim Bhai is the greatest Pakistani cricketer the world has ever seen; By far he is the most honest guy I have ever played with"
"This is my take and I am gonna stick to it and I am sure I will send this message accross"
"Regarding my comment that I would have destroyed Wasim Akram if he had approached me to get involved in corruption. I said, only if he would have approached me, but let me make it clear that he did not. I request people to stop spreading fake news"
"If he hasnt done that, then what is the point (of saying it)"
This is what I say to people and on TV that I did not see nothing wrong and had I would not believe this unless I had seen from my eyes; People can say what they like, I have nothing to do with it"
"For me Wasim Akram is the best cricketer and the best captain and the mentor for all of us, all of the youngsters who played with him"
"So thankyou Wasim bhai, bohat shukriya and please dont spread wrong news"
