Former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh took to social media to express his anger over a story involving him that was narrated by former Pakistan skipper Inzamam Ul Haq in an interview which has gone viral on the internet. During the interview, Inzamam said that Harbhajan was impressed with Maulana Tariq Jameel and even contemplated converting to Islam. “We had a room where prayers were conducted. Maulana Tariq Jameel used to visit us in the evening and lead us into a namaz. After a few days, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif and Zaheer Khan also started coming. Four other Indian cricketers sat and watched us,” he said. “Harbhajan, who was unaware that Tariq Jameel was a maulana, said that ‘I am impressed with this man and want to follow his words',” he added.
The Pakistan cricket team's Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign never really took off. With only four wins in nine matches, the Babar Azam-led Pakistan side finished their Cricket World on a disappointing note. Nothing really worked for the Pakistan cricket team. On top of that there were reports that the Pakistan Cricket Board was not really happy with Babar Azam's captaincy. The star batter was heavily criticised by former Pakistan cricket team players. Naturally, Babar was unhappy.
Pakistan cricket team had a disappointing run in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and the Babar Azam-led side failed to qualify for the semifinals after losing five out of their nine group stage matches. A massive reason behind the capitulation was the lack of form shown by the Pakistan pacers and the bowling department as a whole. Former Indian cricket team star Mohammed Kaif took to social media and said that the Pakistan side was "too soft" and their pacers were "too nice" in this World Cup.
Legendary Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar was extremely critical of his one-time teammate Abdul Razzaq after the latter namedropped Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan while slamming the national side's disappointing run in the Cricket World Cup 2023. During a recent interaction, Razzaq talked about the changing 'neeyat' or motive of the team and mentioned Aishwarya in an attempt to make his point. The statement faced a lot of criticism from social media users and Shoaib Akhtar also blasted the other guests present at the event for clapping and not criticising the comments made by Razzaq.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir blasted current skipper Babar Azam for the team's disappointing performance in the Cricket World Cup 2023.

Amir was not convinced by former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja's suggestions that it was not Babar but the system in Pakistan that was to blame for the elimination. Responding to the statements in a recent interaction, Amir reminisced about trophies won in the past and emphasised on the impact that former skipper had on the national team.
