The two former players, Harbhajan Singh and Kamran Akmal came face-to-face during the World Championship of Legends match in England. The chat between the two made fans believe that the former Pakistan star’s controversial ‘Sikh joke’ at Arshdeep Singh was likely a topic of discussion. Kamran has now come out and admitted that it was indeed a topic of discussion between the two, however there was another topic which he raised during the chat, following which Harbhajan apologized.
“I made a mistake, and that was the only topic being discussed. It was never my intention, and I can never think negatively about anyone’s religion. I have made that clear. It should be done because I am younger, they are seniors and a great off-spinner in Indian and world cricket,” Akmal said as per Paktv.tv.
During the T20 World Cup final, Harbhajan was brought in as a pundit by Star Sports. During the show, Bhajji laughed when the topic of a comparison between Pakistan’s skipper Babar Azam and West Indies legend Brian Lara came up.
Kamran revealed that he reported the matter to Harbhajan during the chat, highlighting how he was wrong to have mocked Babar in such a manner. The retired Indian spinner admitted his mistake on the matter.
“Then we talked, and you might have seen Babar being mocked. No doubt, Babar is also a great batsman in Pakistan cricket; he has scored the most hundreds for Pakistan. No doubt, Brian Lara and Babar’s class don’t match, and they shouldn’t be compared. But as cricketers, we shouldn’t mock anyone. So I talked about it, and he (Harbhajan) also agreed that it shouldn’t have happened from his side either,” Kamran explained.
The post “It was the only topic being discussed”: Kamran Akmal on interaction with Harbhajan Singh appeared first on Cricket Country.
