Akram, Younis criticize decision to rest Afridi for Sydney Test

Former Pakistan pace greats Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis have criticised the decision to rest fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi in the third and final Test against Australia. The controversial move came after Pakistan had already lost the series 0-2, raising questions about the absence of Shaheen in David Warner's farewell Test. Akram claimed the call was entirely Shaheen's and not influenced by team management. He urged players to prioritize between aspiring to become greats or focusing solely on financial gains through T20 cricket.
