Former captain Wasim Akram has called for a quick resolution of the ongoing dispute between all-rounder Shahid Afridi and veteran cricketer Javed Miandad.
The ‘Swing ka Sultan’ tweeted on Tuesday that both Afridi and Miandad mean a lot to him and all of Pakistan and it was sad to see what was happening between the two cricketers.

Afridi and Miandad were involved in a war of words on Sunday when Afridi, during talks with the media, said that Miandad has always spoken about money. Miandad reacted by accusing Afridi of match fixing.
Following the match-fixing allegations, Afridi has decided to initiate legal action against the former captain.
“Afridi and his lawyers, after thoroughly watching clips of Miandad’s interview, have agreed to send a legal notice to Miandad,” a source revealed on Monday.
