The chairman of the board of Pakistan Mohsin Naqvi caused outrage after publishing a video of Cristian Ronald, who created a gesture of fighter Jet. This act is considered to be deliberate provocation and attempt to legitimize behavior that has already caused great criticism.

This comes on the heels of the controversial “6-0” and Haris Rauf’s combat gesture during the Super Four Clash with India in Dubai. Raufa actions focused on Indian fans singing “Kohli, Kohli”, killed through social media as cheap, classless and without increasing international cricket. Sahibzada Farhan added embarrassment and imitated his bat and showed how quickly Pakistani players changed the sports competition at the Political Provocation Theater. Instead of reassuring matters, Naqvi only deteriorated the situation. The Chairman of the Board of Directors using Ronaldo’s painting to support such behavior shocked fans who expect administrators to rise above petty. Pakistani cricket, instead of focusing on his fight in the field, is hidden behind a provocative symbolism that damages the spirit of the game. While Pakistan struggles with controversy, India spoke on the pitch. Sparking 75 Abhishek Sharma set a strong sum, and Kuldeep Yadav next to Varun Chakravarthy dismantled Bangladesh to bake 41-run on Tuesday. With this result, India attacked the final of the Asia Cup, eliminated Sri Lanka and let Pakistan fight with Bangladesh in the virtual semifinals for the remaining place. Naqvi, however, ensured that Pakistani cricket remains in the headlines for bad reasons.
