The ‘Sultan of Swing’ of cricket made his presence known in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, joining Cristiano Ronaldo as a major sports star. The future of Saudi cricket was discussed at a meeting with Wasim Akram. He received a jersey created just for him. The renowned cricketer expressed his delight for the new Saudi league and thanked the Saudi prince for the gift.
The image was posted on social media by Wasim Akram. He stated:
What an amazing trip to Riyadh! I had a wonderful conversation with Prince Saud bin Mishal Al-Saud and we talked about cricket in Saudi Arabia. We discussed the possibility of establishing a Saudi league soon, insha’Allah.

When Javed Afridi visited the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) last week, he met Mishal Al-Saud and gave him a Peshawar Zalmi shirt. Both representatives agreed to cooperate to improve cricketing ties between the two nations at the meeting, which focused on the promotion of cricket in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
A friendly match between Saudi Arabia and the well-known Pakistan Super League (PSL) team is reportedly scheduled.
Wasim Akram is a well-known cricket commentator, coach, and ex-player from Pakistan. Many analysts consider the “Sultan of Swing” to be one of cricket’s all-time best left-arm fast bowlers.
Wasim continues to serve as a cricket ambassador even though he is retired. The cricketer also released his eagerly awaited autobiography last year.
