On his 48th birthday, the PCB shared a video of Shoaib Akhtar's 2005 England series where he took 17 wickets in three matches. Former England batter Kevin Pietersen termed the pacer's bowling speed as "frightening" and said Akhtar was responding to former all-rounder Andrew Flintoff's "looked like Tarzan but bowled like Jane" comment. Pakistan won the three-match Test series 2-0.
