Former cricketer Wasim Akram had the commentary box in fits of laughter after revealing he spent 1,000 Australian dollars on a grooming session for his cat, Leo. Sharing the invoice during a live cricket broadcast, Akram joked about the shocking expense, comparing it to the cost of owning 200 cats in Pakistan.
Akram explained the charges weren’t just for the haircut, which cost only 40 dollars. The hefty bill included sedation, a medical check, recovery time, and even a feline cardio test. Fellow commentator Mark Howard was visibly amused, exclaiming, “You got ripped off!”

Howard’s reaction only heightened the hilarity as he dissected the bill live on air. A photo of Leo post-haircut added to the fun, with Howard humorously calling it “nice, but bloody hell!” Akram admitted the decision was his wife’s, adding that grooming his cats in Karachi costs a fraction of the price.
The video, shared on Akram’s Instagram, quickly went viral, proving that even cricket legends aren’t spared from surprising pet-related expenses.
