KARACHI, April 5: Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan on Thursday promised to take legal action against ex-teammate Sarfraz Nawaz after a flurry of nasty allegations from him in the past week.
"This man (Sarfraz) thinks he can say anything against anyone and get away with it because people don't like to associate themselves with someone of his calibre and character,” said an angry Imran while talking to a radio channel. “But this time he has said enough and I am going to take him to court and file a defamation suit against him for damages.”
Imran and Sarfraz formed one of the most lethal bowling attacks for Pakistan at their prime in the late 70s and Imran has generally credited his teammate for making him a world class bowler.
But in recent years both have fallen out and Sarfraz has developed a knack of making loud statements and serious allegations against his fellow players as well as the current ones.—Agencies
