Cricket Star Has Dirty Wicket -- Benched for Warts

Posted May 22nd 2009 10:28AM by TMZ Staff

"We wanna pitcher, not a genital itcher!"

cricket star

This is actually true -- one of the stars of the Pakistan National Cricket team has been officially benched for a case of the crotch rot ... more commonly known as genital warts.

The Pakistan Cricket board have classified the condition as an "injury" and have decided to sit the player in their next tournament ... he just won't be allowed to sit near anyone else on the team.

Here's the official statement from the PCB: "The medical board has reported that Shoaib Akhtar was suffering from genital viral warts and the wound needs further care and treatment for another 10 days."

Thanks, we think, to Deadspin for bringin' this to our attention...

MOST WHITE WOMEN (and men for that matter) in the United States are scything with HERPES and OR HIV infection, and your CDC can CONFIRM that fact...! And you all have the audacity to speak negatively of this man who PROBABLY GOT IT from some Blond BUFFY that likes whoring for Dark Skinned Soccer Players!~!~!~!~! As they all DO!
SCREW YOU ALL! I hope HERPES SIMPLEX #3 continues to ravage your country and HIV until there's nobody left to play "high & mighty" anymore!

37. Your headline is lame.

I think you meant to say "Cricket star has STICKY wicket," which is an actual cricket term and far funnier than "dirty" wicket.

CHANGE THE HEADLINE!

39. Attention commentators, instead of making comments or talking about some one like Paris Hilton. Get screened this condition that he has is linked to the HPV, human Pallimovirus. so if he has genital warts. He has it and maybe she do to. I effects women without showing any symptoms for a while in their life. She may not have know it nor him. However, this should show you to be careful who you meet. There are over 100 types of this virus low risks and high risks. Do research in of saying eeuu.

40. Croch-rot is not warts...it's a fungal infection like athlete's foot, but in the genital area.
