- Pakistani cricketer Asif Ali’s low level behavior
- Afghan bowler Fareed Ahmed punched in the chest
- The umpire intervened and settled the matter
Pakistan beat Afghanistan by one wicket in the Super-4 encounter in the Asia Cup T20 tournament on Wednesday. The image of cricket has been damaged due to the actions of Pakistani cricketer Asif Ali during this match. In the match, Pakistani batsman Asif tried to hit Afghanistan bowler Fareed Ahmad Malik by lifting his bat. The cricket world was shocked by this incident. The Afghanistan team has urged the ICC to ban Asif Ali.
Asif picked up the bat – also punched
Not only did Asif lift the bat, he also punched Fareed. Asif’s act was shameful and is being criticized from across the board. Former Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib said on social media that Asif behaved foolishly in the middle of the field and should be suspended for the remaining matches of the tournament. Any bowler has the right to express his happiness after taking the batsman’s wicket. In this situation, Asif did not need to show too much aggressive approach. The Asian Cricket Council has also been hinted to take strict action against Pakistani cricketer Asif.
Even in 2021, there was a controversy after Asif’s move
A year ago, the match between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup became a topic of discussion. In this match, Pakistani player Asif Ali celebrated by staring at the bat stadium as if he was firing a gun after the team’s victory. There was a big controversy at that time too. No such winning style is practiced in cricket. Asif Ali’s behavior was not normal but that of a terrorist.
