Pakistani wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan faces a setback
Shares
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has told wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan to remove a social media post wherein he expressed his dedication of the team's remarkable triumph over Sri Lanka to the Palestinians enduring the difficult situation caused by Israel's actions.
Mohammad Rizwan had taken to Social Media to share his heartfelt dedication of Pakistan's victory to the Palestinian people and those in Gaza.
The PCB's intervention stems from Mohammad Rizwan's public statement of solidarity with the Palestinians, which came as a surprise to many. His use of social media to draw attention to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East through the lens of cricket has generated significant discussion and debate, prompting the cricket board to take action.
This incident highlights the intersection of sports and politics, showing how athletes' expressions of support for causes beyond the realm of sports can sometimes lead to intervention by sports organizations like the PCB and ICC.
Earlier Indian national had complained to ICC regarding his social media post.
