A lawyer named Manzoor Qadir Bhinder has approached the court over the disappointing performance of the national cricket team in Gujranwala.
The lawyer filed a petition against the national cricket team captain Babar Azam, team members and Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Mohsin Naqvi in the local court of Gujranwala.
The team should be banned, the petition asks, and the selection committee should be dissolved as well as PCB accounts should be frozen. Billions of rupees are being spent on cricket annually, which is an injustice to the people of Pakistan, the lawyer maintains.
Our players play for their ego and money, not caring for the honor of Pakistan, the petitioner wrote.
The petition has been filed in the court of the District Sessions Judge under Sections 22A and 22B of the Penal Code.
During the T20 World Cup, India deprived the green shirts of a sure victory by exploiting Pakistan’s weak batting and successfully defended the meagre target of 120 runs. Earlier, USA defeated Pakistan on June 6 in a super over by five runs.
