Former Pakistan pace bowler Waqar Younis on Wednesday tendered an apology “with folded hands” for the controversial remark he made after the Babar Azam-led side defeated India by 10 wickets in the ICC T20 World Cup ‘Super 12’ game on October 24. 

Younis was slammed by former India cricketers Venkatesh Prasad, Aakash Chopra and noted commentator Harsha Bhogle for his controversial statement that opener Mohammad Rizwan offering namaz “in front of Hindus [during the match] was very special to him.”
