The history of cricket in Pakistan is littered with rivalries between the players.
Here are some of them:
Abdul Hafeez Kardar, the first captain of Pakistan, could not get along with Haneef Mohammad.
Sarfraz Nawaz and Asif Iqbal were not in good terms.
Javed Miandad and Imran Khan were not the best of friends.
Wasim and Waqar were never the best of chums.
Rashid Latif and Saleem Malek too turned enemies.
Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif are the latest in a long list of rivalries.
The beauty is, despite the acrimony between players they managed to win a World Cup and are feared opponents in Test match cricket.
Sometimes, these rivalries spill out into the field and they self-destruct, giving rise to charges of match fixing.
