Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Irfan's death rumours in a car accident Rejected

ISLAMABAD - Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Irfan has rejected the death rumours in a car accident.

Pakistan fast-bowler Mohammad Irfan had to confirm that rumours of his death spreading on social media were "fake news" on Sunday.

The 38-year-old, known for being the tallest person to play first-class cricket at 7ft 1in (2.16 m), said false reports saying he had been in a car accident were "baseless".

"Some social media outlets have been spreading a baseless fake news about my death in a car accident," Irfan wrote on Twitter.

"This has disturbed my family & friends beyond words, and I have been receiving endless calls on this. Please refrain from such things. There was no accident and we are well."
