Legendary Pakistan pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar has lashed out at Chinese people for “bats, dogs and cats” as the world battles to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Akhtar said he cannot understand why Chinese people “have to eat things like bats, drink their blood and urine and spread some virus across the globe”.

Many cricket series have been affected by the coronavirus as the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) was shortened, with the final now being held on March 18, and many international players have returned home.
