Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal has slammed former Australia left-arm chinaman bowler Brad Hogg for mocking Mohammad Rizwan's English-speaking skills. Hogg made a video Hogg where he is interviewing a content creator who impersonated Rizwan in a post-match presentation setting. The video has received backlash on social media.
Hogg asked, "What do you think about Virat Kohli?"
"I and Virat are alike. He drinks water, I drink water. He eats food, I eat food. We are both the same; there is no difference," the content creator replied in a video with captaion 'Virat Kohli = Mohammad Rizwan'
The content creator then used Rizwan's popular statement, 'Ya to win hai, ya learn hai (We either win or we learn)"
Jamal pointed out that English is not even Rizwan's second language and the X platform should not be used for videos like these.
"I just watch a video which is circulating on twitter and others social media It is very shameful act from @Brad_Hogg who called himself a international cricketer making fun of @iMRizwanPak about his English which is his 3rd language not even 2nd," Jamal wrote on X.
"I would rather suggest you to become #TikToker because you might need followers and attention by making fun of other people thats the platform for you not cricket community," he added.
Jamal is currently not a part of Pakistan's T20I and ODI squad for New Zealand tour. He is not part of the National T20 Cup as well. On the other hand, Rizwan has been sacked as T20I captain. He will lead Pakistan in the three-ODI series on New Zealand soil starting March 29.
PCB fines Jamal
Meanwhile, Jamal has reportedly been fined PKR 1.3 million by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for wearing a cap with "804" written on it. The number written on his cap is legendary Pakistan captain and former Prime Minister Imran Khan's badge number in prison.
Jamal's last appearance in international cricket was against South Africa in Test series. He remained wicketless in the Cape Town Test. He managed to take just two wickets on the tour and score 95 runs from four innings.
