Imam-ul-Haq Apologises For Controversy Involving Multiple Women

Earlier, Imam landed himself in a controversy after a Twitter user accused him of having affairs with several girls and cheating on them

Days after getting into a controversy over his multiple love affairs, young Pakistani batsman Imam-ul-Haq has apologised to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Board’s Managing Director, Wasin Khan confirmed the development stating that ‘hopefully such events won’t be repeated again’. “Imam was remorseful and has apologised for what all has happened and admitted his mistake. He said the matter got out of hand due to a misunderstanding,” Pakistan media quoted Wasim Khan as saying. “But we told him in clear terms that, although this is his personal and private matter, we expect our players to adhere to the highest standards of ethics and discipline,” he added. Khan added that the board takes these type of matters very seriously, saying centrally contracted players are expected to be more responsible. “We don't like to comment on personal affairs of a player but we expect that our centrally contracted players will also show more responsibility being ambassadors of Pakistan cricket and Pakistan,” Khan said. “Hopefully we will not see such incidents again,” he added. A few days ago, Imam landed himself in a controversy after a Twitter user accused him of having affairs with several girls and cheating on them. The user had leaked his WhatsApp chats with several girls alleging that the cricketer had exploited them. The incident seemed to have divided the netizens as some questioned the cricketer's conduct whereas others criticised the girls. At the time of writing the story, the Twitter handle from which the screenshots of the cricketer's chats were leaked had ceased to exist.
