Pakistan fast bowlers Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar have pulled out from the commentary team of the official broadcaster for the fifth and final one day international between India and South Africa scheduled to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on October 25, in the wake of Shiv Sena threat against Pakistan cricketers and officials participating in any activity in Mumbai. According to sources, Mr. Akram and Mr. Akhtar pulled out on their own and there was no pressure from anyone as it was about threat perception.
