According to sources, MDPTV during the meeting directed Dr. Noman Niaz to bring an alternative anchor in the sports program but Dr. Noman Niaz apologized and allegedly stated that if he could not do the program himself, he will not let anyone else do it either.
It may be recalled that during the live show on state TV after the match between Pakistan and New Zealand on October 26, the host of the program, Dr. Noman Niaz, had asked Shoaib Akhtar to leave the show in front of other guests including Vivian Richards and David Gower. ۔
Speed star Shoaib Akhtar praised Harris Rauf for his outstanding performance in the ICC T20 World Cup and gave credit to the Lahore Qalandars Player Development Program.
The host of the state TV may not have liked Qalandars’ praise and in response he behaved rudely towards Shoaib Akhtar and asked him to leave the show.
Shoaib Akhtar tried to settle the matter but when it did not work out, Shoaib Akhtar not only left the show but also resigned from PTV.
