Former Pakistan chief voter Mohammad Wasim threw a cheeky jibe at former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar during a Twitter trend in which he shared his top picks for his favorite actor, actress, athlete and singer.

Former Chief Selector Mohammad Wasim recently edged out Shoaib Akhtar, named him his favorite actor.

In a recent Twitter trend in which Mohammad Wasim shared his top picks for his favorite actor, actress, athlete and singer, the former chief selector's choice of Shoaib Akhtar as his favorite actor raised eyebrows. Wasim subtly mocked Shoaib Akhtar by including his image in the actors category while choosing Bushra Ansari as his favorite actress, Kishore Kumar as best singer and Javed Miandad as best cricketer.

This choice sparked controversy and confusion among social media users, who were quick to question the reason for Wasim's choice.

The playful remark appeared to be a light-hearted response to Akhtar's earlier controversial comments against Mohammad Wasim's tenure as chairman of the national team selection committee.

“The Pakistan squad for the T20 World Cup will be changed. Mohammad Wasim is not a chief selector, he is just a puppet," Akhtar said.

Wasim then responded to the former speedster's comment about being a "puppet chief voter."

“Shoaib Akhtar is a very good friend and we spend a lot of time together. We used to do shows together, but now we don't interact in the same way. Cricket players and analysts have their own point of view and I respect that, but that doesn't mean they are always right," Wasim said.
