Cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has landed in legal trouble after repeatedly levelling allegations against a former national team captain.

 

According to media reports, authorities have initiated action under cybercrime laws as Shehzad made a series of comments in recent days regarding a former captain, including claims linked to the exclusion of a particular player from the team. 

 

The repeated nature of these remarks reportedly prompted a legal response.

 

The former captain decided to pursue the matter through legal channels, reports said, adding that a complaint has now been registered, leading to the formal start of an inquiry under cybercrime regulations.

 

Authorities have already called Shehzad to Lahore for questioning and will review his response before deciding on further action. If they find the explanation unsatisfactory, they could proceed with the registration of a formal case.

 

Reports citing a source close to the former captain said, "If the discussion stays limited to cricket, there is no issue. However, allegations damage reputation. Even if something is not true, repeating it again and again makes people believe it. That is why action became necessary."

 

Shehzad now runs his own YouTube channel and also appears on various television shows. He often makes headlines for his comments on Pakistan cricket and players.

 

During his international career, Shehzad represented Pakistan in all formats. He played 13 Test matches and scored 982 runs, including three centuries. In One Day Internationals, he featured in 81 matches and scored 2,605 runs with six hundreds. In T20 Internationals, he played 59 matches and scored 1,471 runs.
