Shoaib Akhtar walks out of TV show after being asked to leave by the PTV host

The problem began when Akhtar apparently ignored the line of questioning by the host Nauman Niaz and decided to talk about pacer Haris Rauf, which annoyed the host who accused Akhtar of ‘misbehaving with him’
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar was embroiled in a controversy when he walked out of a TV programme and resigned from his job as a cricket analyst after being told to leave the set by the host of the show at state-owned PTV.
Akhtar, 46, said he had been treated badly and insulted on air by the host in the post-match show following Pakistan's five wicket win over New Zealand in ongoing T20 the World Cup on Tuesday.
Akhtar, who played 46 Tests and 163 ODIs, got up, took off his microphone and left. Host Nauman Niaz didn't attempt to call him back and showed no reaction at all and carried on with the show as normal.
