Akhtar replied to Sehwag saying he will try to feature in the Cricket All-Stars. Both Sehwag and Akhtar appeared for Sachin’s Blasters in the first edition of the Cricket All-Stars league in November last year.

The ‘Rawalpindi Express’ also praised his Doctor, who took his case when nobody else was willing to. A grateful Akhtar thanked Dr Young wholeheartedly in another tweet, that went like this:

Ultimate respect for my doctor David Young . Many people refused to take my case to operate but mr Young not only took the case but fixed it
