The list also includes 1992 World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan.

In spite of the urge of the interviewer to include himself in the list, he humbly excluded himself from the list. He picked his long-time bowling partner Waqar Younis at number three.

“Look, I’ve been told I might go off the script here. I’ve been told that I have to pick myself up, and I’m a bit embarrassed to do that. But number three, I pick Waqar Younis,” Akram commented.

Meanwhile, on number two, Wasim Akram selected the legendary batter Javed Miandad, who is considered one of the greatest batters of all time.

“Number two is great Javed Miandad. I mean, every time you talk about greats coming out of Pakistan, Javed Miandad, his name is right up there,” he said.

Former legendary pacer Akram selected Imran Khan for the top slot of the list.

The former captain praised Imran’s impact on the game during a time when every team featured a legendary all-rounder like Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee, and Kapil Dev.

“It’s got to be Imran Khan. I’ve seen him in his prime days as a cricketer. I mean, he was a proper all-rounder. That era was the allrounder era — Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee, Imran Khan, and then Kapil Dev from India,” he concluded.
