Akram maintained that the book will be translated into many languages, including Urdu.

The left-arm fast bowler was critical of Pakistan's performance as they were bowled out for 121 by Sri Lanka in the final Super Four stage match of the ongoing Asia Cup. 

Wasim opined on the game and said, "Below average batting." "In general, the attitude was not there; they were not willing to take doubles by targeting the longer part of the ground, and they only looked to clear the boundary against the spin," he added.
