After the defeat to England in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the wife of the captain of the national cricket team Salman Ali Agha and his son were harassed online.
In the Super 8 stage of the ICCT World Twenty20, England easily beat Pakistan by 2 wickets to reach the semi-finals thanks to Harry Brook’s brilliant century.
Pakistan scored 164 runs for 9 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, England easily reached Pakistan’s target losing 8 wickets in the last over.
Players are criticized by fans and former cricketers for Pakistan’s defeat, in such a situation some fans crossed the limits of criticism and targeted the family of captain Salman Ali Agha on the internet.
Salman Ali Axa’s wife, Saba, sent a message to critics who targeted her family through an Instagram story and wrote that you cannot win the World Cup by insulting them and their children.
When Salman’s wife Ali Agha’s Instagram story went viral, there was a backlash in critical circles. South African spinner Tabriz Shamsi also showed his support by condemning this abuse and said that this stupid behavior makes me angry.
He said it’s natural to feel sorry for your team’s loss, winning and losing is part of the game, but there’s no need to target the players’ families. This is for fans from all countries, please respect others.
