From hitting batsmen with his speed bowling on the field to making controversial statements off-field, former Pakistan paceman Shoaib Akhtar is someone who can't and won't change. While talking to Pakistani presenter Sawera Pasha on her Youtube show Cric Cast, Akhtar said, "In first-class cricket when I played for English county Worcestershire, I hit quite a few batsmen. “But he said ‘let’s face you’. It wasn’t very dark but I felt it would be difficult to face my pace. So yeah, every time I hit someone I felt bad,” Akhtar recalled.
