Shoaib Akhtar Faces Legal Action from Nauman Niaz
Shoaib Akhtar, a former cricket player, is being sued by Nauman Niaz, a cricket historian.
Niaz sent a legal notice to Akhtar because Akhtar made comments on a podcast, which Niaz believes were disrespectful and damaging to his reputation.
Akhtar reportedly called Niaz a "kit man."
Niaz wants Akhtar to say he's sorry publicly within two weeks, or else Niaz might take further legal action.
These two have had disagreements before, like when Niaz asked Akhtar to leave a show on TV.
This is a case about someone possibly damaging another person's reputation with words.
Nauman Niaz, a cricket historian, issued a legal notice to Shoaib Akhtar.
The notice concerns alleged defamatory statements made on a podcast.
Akhtar reportedly described Niaz as a "kit man" from their time in the Pakistan team.
Niaz is demanding an unconditional apology within 14 days.
