Abdul Razzaq’s Comments on Aishwarya Rai Sparks Controversy

During a recent media interaction attended by former Pakistani cricketers, ex-player Abdul Razzaq sparked controversy with remarks about Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai. The conversation revolved around strong criticisms from former players regarding the Pakistan cricket team’s disappointing performance in the 2023 ICC World Cup under the leadership of Babar Azam.

When asked about the team’s performance, Razzaq made a controversial statement involving Aishwarya. Instead of condemning or interrupting Razzaq’s comments, Shahid Afridi was seen laughing and applauding in response.

Razzaq’s specific analogy asserted, “If you believe that marrying Aishwarya Rai will result in the birth of a good and pious child, it will never happen.” This comparison aimed to emphasize the importance of pure intentions within the cricket board, suggesting that the PCB’s commitment to player development should remain unwavering.

Razzaq used a surprising analogy to critique their approach, highlighting that Younis Khan’s positive intentions as captain instilled confidence in him to improve his performance. However, Razzaq emphasized a perceived lack of dedication from the PCB in nurturing and refining players’ skills.
