During the drinks break during the match against India, a tray full of bananas was brought onto the field for the Pakistani players.
Host and defending champion Pakistan has been eliminated from the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025. Pakistan’s troubles increased after losing first to New Zealand and then to the Indian team in Dubai by 6 wickets. Cricket fans are seen criticizing the Pak team after it was eliminated from the tournament so early.
On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list, that of former Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram. Not only did he criticise the team for Pakistan’s exit from the tournament, but he also raised questions about the diet of Pakistani players in the match against India.
Even monkeys don’t eat so many bananas: Wasim Akram
Let us tell you that when the match of Pakistan cricket team was going on against India at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, during the drinks break, a tray full of bananas were brought for the Pakistani players. On this matter, during the post-match, Akram said-
I think it was the first or second drinks break and a plate full of bananas was brought for the players. Even monkeys don’t eat so many bananas. This is their food. You (Waqar Younis) tell me how many bananas you have eaten while bowling. If our captain Imran Khan was here, he would have scolded us for doing this.

On the other hand, Akram criticized the Pakistani team and said – tough steps need to be taken. We have been playing old cricket in white ball for centuries. This needs to be changed. Bring fearless cricketers, young players into the team. If you have to make five-six changes, please do them, otherwise you will keep losing for the next 5-6 months. Start building a team for the 2026 T20 World Cup from now itself.
