Former Australia all-rounder Brad Hogg has faced heavy criticism online after posting a video mocking Pakistan’s ODI captain Mohammad Rizwan for his English during the Champions Trophy. The clip took a dig at Rizwan’s speaking style and language proficiency, prompting a backlash from social media users who slammed Hogg for his ‘distasteful’ act.

A video circulating on social media shows Hogg conducting a mock interview with a content creator impersonating Rizwan, seemingly ridiculing his English-speaking skills. The clip has sparked widespread criticism online, with fans slamming Hogg for his involvement.

“What do you think about Virat Kohli," Hogg asks the creator. 

“I and Virat are alike. He drinks water, I drink water. He eats food, I eat food. We are both the same; there is no difference," the creator impersonating Rizwan can be heard saying in the viral video.

“Yikes, this is terrible. Brad Hogg should not doing that. Players are at that level for their cricketing skills, not their ability to communicate in English,” a social media user wrote.

“Absolutely distasteful from Brad Hogg to engage in this mockery of Rizwan. Used to think he was a decent bloke, guess not,” wrote another.

Here's a look at a few social reactions to Brad Hogg's video:

English is Rizwan's third language. How many languages can Hogg speak? I could go on stoop to the Aussies sandpaper level, but I have dignity.

Wrong. U can't shame someone publicly. Not done in right spirit

Rizwan is good at what he is supposed to be good at. The wicketkeeping and batting. It is improper to insult him this way.

This is poor coming from someone like Brad Hogg.
