Former Fast Bowler Shoaib Akhtar Faces Rs 1 Billion Defamation Notice

NEW DELHI: Television host and former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official Dr. Nauman Niaz has served a Rs1 billion (approximately INR 30.46 crore or 346 million) defamation notice on former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar following a controversial comment made during a channel show on May 25.

Dr. Niaz, a former Director of Sports at the state-owned Pakistan Television Network, has sent the notice through his lawyer after Shoaib allegedly described him as a "kit man" during his time with the Pakistan team.

"Dr. Nauman basically used to carry our bags luggage for us in the team," Shoaib said on a podcast.

Dr. Nauman served as the data analyst of the Pakistan team on a couple of tours some years back when Shoaib was playing for his country. Agencies
