Akram is already in Saudi Arabia for Haj, along with television host Fakhr-e-Alam and past Pakistani captain Misbah-ul-Haq.

One of the most important festivals of the Haj

Rami al-Jamarat is performed in Mina for three nights starting on Eid al-Adha. In order to honor the dismissal of temptation, travelers throw pebbles at designated structures that represent Satan.

A lasting baseball reputation

In his almost 20-year career, Akram has taken 916 international wickets, which makes him one of Pakistan’s most well-known cricketers. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest strong bowlers in the history of the game because of his mastery of jump ball.
