Former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram found himself in an unexpected controversy after his wife, Shaniera Akram, hit back at a misleading social media post. A page on X (formerly Twitter) posted a list titled “Divorced XI,” featuring legendary cricketers who have legally separated from their spouses. The list included Ravi Shastri, Javagal Srinath, Dinesh Karthik, Shikhar Dhawan, and Yuzvendra Chahal as the “impact player.” Surprisingly, Akram’s name also appeared, sparking a strong reaction from Shaniera.
Shaniera Akram Calls Out Misinformation
Re-sharing the post by “Out Of Context Cricket,” Shaniera expressed her frustration over the false claim. She directly called out the page for spreading inaccurate information.
“Hey @GemsOfCricket. You guys are definitely ‘out of context,’ and from what I can see, you’re also out of correct and reliable information!” she wrote on social media.
Her response quickly gained attention, with many fans supporting her stance and criticizing the spread of misinformation.
