Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad took a dig at Mohammad Rizwan for playing the religion card in a press conference after the team’s underwhelming show in the T20 World Cup. Recently, Rizwan addressed the media where he talked about Pakistan’s poor show at the mega ICC event, but he also shared his religious sentiments during the press conference, which didn’t go well with Shahzad.
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.
“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,” Rizwan said.
Shehzad, who has been critical of the Pakistan team’s performances in recent times, bashed the players for hiding their poor show by playing the religion card.
“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?” Shehzad wrote on X in Urdu.
