Karachi. Pakistan’s young wicketkeeper batsman Azam Khan got into controversy when he was seen on social media platforms wiping the sweat off his brow with US dollars. Pakistan captain Babar Azam and some other players are also seen in this video. Pakistan cricket fans are criticizing Azam and other players for their insensitivity considering the economic condition of the country. In the video, Babar laughingly asks Azam, “What happened Abba?” Azam answers this by saying, “It is very hot.” During this, Azam also cleans the sweat with the dollar note held in his hand, due to which the team starts laughing with him.
One user on social media wrote, “Barring a few people in Pakistan’s sports history, no one has any kind of charisma and influence, there is nothing for a young kid to aspire to. The current guys are just disappointing.” Emphasizing the need for education, another user said, “That’s why we always say that basic education is necessary, these people travel around the world but do not learn basic human values. “Send them to school before sending them to the international stage.” One fan wrote that when Pakistani people were struggling with food shortage, Azam was making fun of poor people.
