"You Used The Word 'Match-Fixing'...": Shan Masood's Fiery Reply To Reporter

The Pakistan cricket team had a horrible outing at the T20 World Cup 2024 as the Babar Azam-led side crashed out of the tournament in the group stage. Since the elimination, there have been reports of groupings in the dressing room and some fans even speculated about possible match-fixing among the players. Test captain Shan Masood, however, rubbished any such claim and said that he cannot question the integrity of any cricketer. Masood also spoke about Arshad Nadeem after the athlete won Pakistan's first-ever Olympics gold medal and hailed him as a 'national hero'. A reporter spoke about Nadeem's achievement during a press conference and asked Masood about the rewards of bringing glory to the nation. He also suggested that such achievements are more rewarding than gains from activities like match-fixing.
