Shoaib Akhtar Accepts Dr Noman Niaz apology after screen clash
After Pakistan’s triumph against New Zealand, Akhtar and Niaz had a verbal fight while debating the impact of the Lahore Qalandars’ Player Development Program (PDP) on pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf’s performance on a post-match broadcast.
“You’re being a little rude and I don’t want to say this: but if you’re being over smart, you can go. I am saying this on-air,” Niaz told Akhtar before switching to a commercial break.

“It’s human to make mistakes, but that shouldn’t have happened, and for that I apologise not once, but a million times. “I know I wounded a lot of people’s feelings, including Shoaib Akhtar. Who has been a tremendous star… whether it was his fault or not,” Niaz stated on Rauf Klasra’s YouTube channel.
