The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently posted an illustration on social media for the upcoming T20 World Cup in India. No Pakistani player can be seen in illustration.
Players from almost all countries are added in the illustration. Even players from Zimbabwe and UAE are also added as these two teams are not even participating in the world cup.
Along with all other countries, players from Nepal, Afghanistan, Netherlands etc are all added in the image.
Twitter had a reaction to it and people are not very happy as they fail to see their country’s representation in the image.
A user wrote “Differences aside, I think Babar Azam should have been there. I understand that this picture is not from any ICC official, but out of fairness this should not have been approved to be posted here. You even have UAE and Nepal, but not Pakistan – that’s not fair.”
Another wrote” IS PAKISTAN NOT PARTICIPATING IN T20 WORLD CUP 2021? HOW CAN U NOT MENTION 2009 WORLD CHAMPION? FROM WHEN RACISM STARTS IN CRICKET? ANSWER!”
