An Urdu newspaper got confused between former cricketer Wasim Akram and Karachi Mayor Waseem Akhtar. The newspaper published the picture of Wasim Akram instead of Waseem Akhtar along with the news story on latter’s statement.
Taking to the Twitter, Wasim Akram posted the snapshot of the news story on his account. Wasim Akram wrote: “I thought we cleared this up, guys. You had one job to do.” Wasim Akram, however, did not share the name of the newspaper in his Twitter post.

“What does it say? from the replies — I can only speculate — are you the new mayor of Karachi? please tell me, the suspense is torturing me!!! BTW – I always saw myself with the in-swinging yorker, too bad I’m right-handed … I miss you :(“, said a Twitter user from India.
