Legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram has revealed that he received the best birthday present in his life after the national team beat England in their World Cup clash on Monday.
Akram turned 53 on Monday and was overjoyed to see the men in green take down England, who are considered to be among the favourites to win the World Cup, by 14 runs in Nottingham.
Pakistan also snapped their 11-game losing streak in ODIs with their victory over the World Cup hosts.
“I turned 53 today and there can’t be any better gift on my birthday than this. This is best present I have ever got in my life,” Wasim said on Geo’s segment “Swing Ka Sultan”.
“We needed this victory as a nation and as a team. This will provide us much-needed confidence. Winning against the home favorites will surely boost morale.”
Pakistan’s next World Cup game will be against Sri Lanka in Bristol on Friday.
