In a social media post about the incident, Rauf stated, “As public figures, we accept all kinds of feedback from the public. People have the right to support or criticize us. However, if my family is targeted, I will respond appropriately. It is important to respect people and their families, no matter what their profession is.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan played their final group-stage match of the T20 World Cup in Lauderhill against Ireland. Despite winning the match, it wasn’t enough for them to advance to the Super Eight stage of the tournament. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has yet to make an official statement regarding the team’s early exit.
Additionally, Haris Rauf, a centrally contracted player for Pakistan, experienced an unusual contract situation earlier this year. On February 15, the PCB terminated his contract due to his unavailability for Pakistan’s Test series against Australia. However, his contract was reinstated on March 24, with PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi describing the situation as a “misunderstanding.”
