The Pakistan captain shared a video on his Snapchat account showing Azam Khan jokingly wiping his face with dollar notes while sitting inside a bus. The video went viral on social media and received a lot of reactions from fans.
Pakistan batter Azam Khan is currently in England with his teammates for an upcoming four-match T20I series against the hosts.
A few days before the series starts in Leeds, the 25-year-old made a video for social media while on a bus tour with his teammates. The video, which many people on social media saw as insensitive, shows Azam Khan casually wiping his sweat with dollars.
Although not visible in the video, a voice that sounds like captain Babar Azam can be heard, along with other team members. While the joke made his nearby colleagues laugh, it caused outrage on social media. One social media user even claimed that Azam Khan’s insensitive act was aimed at poor Pakistani citizens back home who are currently suffering from a heatwave.
Despite the controversy, the Pakistan cricket team is scheduled to play against hosts England in the first T20I of their four-match series on May 22. The match will be held at the Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds.
