The former bowler said the both countries don't need any more such things, enough is enough.


Karachi: Renowned former Pakistan cricket captain, Wasim Akram, known for his mastery of swing bowling and fondly called the "Sultan of Swing," expressed his frustration regarding the proliferation of fake news on social media.
Taking to the social media platform X, Akram urged the public not to lend credence to unfounded rumors circulating about the national cricket team following the 2023 Asia Cup.
In his post, he cautioned against believing everything encountered on social media, emphasizing the human tendency to give in to negativity over positivity.
Akram went further to highlight the negative consequences of fake news, stating that it engenders unnecessary conflicts and fosters animosity, ultimately exacerbating divisions within communities.
Without specifying the exact news item, Akram's mention of "both countries" suggests that his concerns revolve around misleading reports linked to the highly anticipated India-Pakistan cricket match or the potential misinformation campaigns targeting both nations.
People need to stop thinking everything on social media is true. The bad is always easier to believe than the good. Fake news, in our part of the world, ignites unnecessary controversies, sparks hate and toughens the rift between us something that both countries do not need any…
