Renowned sports journalist Dr. Nauman Niaz has issued a legal notice to former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar over alleged defamatory remarks made during a digital broadcast.
Dr. Niaz, the former PCB media head, took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the matter, stating: “For three years using television channels & digital media platforms, a one-sided malicious defamation campaign was continued. Example of many such indiscretions are available.”

He added, “Shoaib Akhtar let fly again. He passed derogatory remarks contrary to the reality. Eventually, the silence could no longer be mistaken for acquiescence. On the advice of counsel, a line has now been drawn formally, firmly. A legal notice has been issued to Mr Shoaib Akhtar.”
The controversy arose after Akhtar claimed during a digital broadcast that Dr. Niaz was employed to carry players’ bags, calling it his “actual responsibility.”
