Pakistan Cricket Board Faces Backlash On Social Media After Imran Khan Finds No Mention In I-Day Tribute Video
He finished with 3,807 and 3,709 Test and ODI runs, respectively.
Former Pakistan player Imran Khan is one of the greatest all-rounders Pakistan has ever produced. Back in 1992, he guided Pakistan to win the World Cup. Recently, Pakistan Cricket Board posted a video on social media handles, giving tribute to some of its legendary players but then they completely ignored Imran Khan. Fans were disappointed as there was no mention of the legendary cricketer and they took Twitter by storm. Meanwhile, former PCB chairman Khalid Mahmood also asked for the withdrawal of the video posted by the PCB on Independence Day after they did not mention Imran Khan's contribution to the game in the country.
Making history isn't just about one day, it's about the legends we create and the tales we script 💫

"This video must be withdrawn by the PCB immediately and released again with proper mention of Imran's contribution to Pakistan cricket," Mahmood told the "Aaj" channel.
"We should first look at ourselves as to what we are doing with our own heroes then criticise others," Mahmood said.

Zaka Ashraf remembered displaying a photograph of Bhutto but could not recall the picture of Imran Khan, the iconic figure in Pakistan cricket and the hero of 92WC. The shameless system and those who support it, along with people who remain silent, also face a lamentable fate. pic.twitter.com/GZYMtjjYXk
