Shoaib Akhtar has come in support of his ex-teammate Shahid Afridi, stating that he was witness to the harsh treatment meted out to the former Pakistan all-rounder by some senior players during his playing days. "I think Shahid Afridi has written less in his book about the harsh treatment he received from senior players during his playing days. Akhtar also claimed that 10 senior players had later apologised to them. "Later down the years, 10 of these senior players asked us for forgiveness, before leaving for Umrah, for the way they treated us," he said. Citing his personal problems during his playing days, Akhtar even went on to claim that some senior players tried to engage in a physical altercation with him.
