Shoaib Akhtar, the former Pakistan fast bowler, slammed skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed and called him one of the most unfit cricketers in this generation. Pakistan were bowled out for just 105 runs in 21.4 overs against the West Indies in their opening match of World Cup 2019 at Trent Bridge on Friday.

West Indies then chased down the target inside 14 overs to hammer Pakistan by seven wickets. According to a Pakistani journalist Saj Sadiq, Shoaib Akhtar called Sarfaraz Ahmed “unfit”. “When Sarfaraz Ahmed came for the toss, his stomach was sticking out and his face was so fat. He’s the first captain I’ve seen who is so unfit. He’s not able to move across and he’s struggling with wicket-keeping,” Sadiq tweeted.

West Indies restricted Pakistan for their second-lowest World Cup total. Chris Gayle then smashed a quick-fire fifty as the West Indies romped home in just 13.4 overs. Dejected after Pakistan’s meek surrender, Akhtar tweeted, “Speechless”.

“Ok the match is over. Recollecting my thoughts and emotions. We have to back these boys, they are representing our nation. They need our support throughout the World Cup,” he added.
