Bowling great Wasim Akram shares ‘humiliating’ experience at UK airport

Former Pakistan captain and bowling legend Wasim Akram shared about his ‘humiliating’ experience at the Manchester airport on Tuesday.

“Very disheartened at Manchester airport today, I travel around the world with my insulin but never have I been made to feel embarrassed,” shared Akram in a tweet post.

“I felt very humiliated as I was rudely questioned and ordered publicly to take my insulin out of its travel cold-case and dumped in to a plastic bag,” he added.

Akram was first diagnosed with Type I diabetes in 1997, back when he was the captain of the Pakistan team and was at the peak of his cricketing career. He has been taking insulin injections multiple times a day ever since.

The bowling legend was part of the ICC’s commentary team for the Cricket World Cup 2019, which hosts England won on July 14.
