At the same time, on the other hand there were Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afidi and many other Pakistani players, who always harassed me. He did not even eat with me. At the same time, Shahid Afidi was a main person who used to ask me to change my religion again and again. But Inzamam -ul -Haq never talked to me in this way. “
