Abdul Razzaq, the former all-rounder for Pakistan, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons again after he made a disgusting remark about Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai. Razzaq was questioned over the chaos and poor management within the Pakistan Cricket Board that resulted in the team’s elimination from the league stage of the 2023 ICC World Cup in India.
Abdul Razzaq’s Reference to Aishwarya Rai in PCB Critique
While criticising the PCB’s goals, Razzaq used the former Miss World as an example, which made everyone in the room chuckle. However, social media users did not find anything humorous about his remark. “I’m talking about their (PCB’s) intention here. I knew when I was playing that my captain Younis Khan’s intentions were good. I took confidence and courage from that and thanks to Allah I could deliver for Pakistan cricket. Right now a lot of talk here is surrounded around the Pakistan team and the players’ performances in the World Cup. I think we do not have the intention to polish and develop the players. If you think that I will get married to Aishwarya (Rai) to have a well-mannered and virtuous child, then that can never happen. So you have to correct your intentions first,” Razzaq said in Urdu.
