Fact-check: 25 dollars dein, Pak cricket team ke sath tasveer aur autograph lein

Meet Pakistani cricketers participating in the World Cup, take autographs and take pictures, for which you have to pay $25. An invitation stating the above has gone viral on social media.

Former captain Rashid Latif claims, “Players are getting paid to take autographs and take pictures. Attending a private dinner just before the World Cup is disastrous. If International Cricket Council (ICC) or PCB had organized it, it would have been a different matter. We are saying that give 25 dollars and meet Pakistani players.”

“These are not fundraising and private dinners, please don’t do that and focus on cricket,” Rashid further said.

The spokesperson of PCB claims that the Pakistani cricket team participated in a charity event in Dallas, but the invitation does not mention charity anywhere, Abdul Majid Bhatti has reported for Geo News.
