Pakistani cricketer Ahmed Shehzad criticized Mohammad Rizwan for bringing up religion during a press conference after Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. Rizwan had talked about the team’s poor performance and also shared his religious views, which Shehzad found inappropriate.
First let me give you a jist of what happened in the press conference, so A video has gone viral on social media, where he talked about his religion and said every Muslim is a brand ambassador of Islam where he goes.
Rizwan said, I think that every person is a brand ambassador for two things. If he is a Muslim, he represents Islam wherever he goes in the world. Secondly, he’s a brand ambassador of Pakistan. What people say, we don’t care about that
In response, Shehzad, who has criticized Pakistan team’s performances in recent times bashed the players for hiding their poor show by playing the religion card.
He said, It is really disappointing that some players are hiding their poor performance in the World Cup by holding unnecessary press conferences and playing the religion card. Where does religion go when they lie about their fitness and when they admit they were acting on the field? Does religion teach you to deceive others and lie in the field?
Now, let me talk you back to the memory lane of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup performance, Pakistan was eliminated from the tournament in the group stage after losing to the USA and India early on. The batsmen didn’t perform well in the T20 format and had difficulty adjusting to the challenging pitches in the USA.
