The Controversial Remark
Abdul Razzaq, known for his all-round cricket skills, stirred controversy by bringing Aishwarya Rai into a discussion about the state of cricket in Pakistan. Razzaq claimed, “I would never have good and pious kids if I marry Aishwarya Rai.”
The remark, widely considered inappropriate, has garnered criticism from fans and fellow cricketers alike.

Afridi stated that he was unaware of Razzaq’s statement during the press conference and only learned about it after watching the clip at home. Despite not knowing the content of the remark, Afridi acknowledged the mistake, expressing, “I saw the clip when I went home and realized that Abdul Razzaq made a wrong statement. I knew he had a mike in his hand and will say something.
He has a habit of getting beaten by shoes. I will just text him to apologize for what he said as it was wrong.”
Umar Gul’s Clarification
Another former cricketer present at the press conference, Umar Gul, joined Afridi in disassociating himself from Razzaq’s remarks.

The controversial comments have sparked a social media storm, with users condemning Razzaq, Afridi, and Gul for their reactions.
