Aamir Jamal slams former Australian cricketer for mocking Rizwan's English

Pakistan's national team captain, Mohammad Rizwan, recently became the subject of mockery over his English-speaking skills. However, all-rounder Aamir Jamal did not hold back and gave a strong response to former Australian cricketer and commentator Brad Hogg.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Aamir Jamal criticised Hogg, stating, "It is a very shameful act from @Brad_Hogg who called himself an international cricketer, making fun of @iMRizwanPak about his English, which is his 3rd language, not even 2nd. I would rather suggest you become #TikToker because you might need followers and attention by making fun of other people. That's the platform for you, not the cricket community."

The controversy erupted after a video of Brad Hogg mocking Rizwan's English went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism.

In the video, Hogg is seen interacting with an impersonator, mimicking Mohammad Rizwan. Hogg asks him about Kohli, to which the impersonator jokingly replies:  "I and Virat are the same. He drinks water, I drink water. He eats food, I eat food. We are the same. There is no difference."

The impersonator then shifts focus to Rizwan, mimicking his accent while discussing Pakistan’s "win or learn" strategy. Hogg sarcastically praises Rizwan’s English, to which the impersonator responds: "Yes, in Pakistan, everyone says my English is very good."

The video sparked outrage among fans, who condemned it as disrespectful to the Pakistani cricketer.
