While the Pakistan Cricket Team may not be making noise on the field, off-field they are sure making enough noise to keep their fans entertained. The latest one to stir off-field controversy is Waqar Younis. After Pakistan suffered its second loss in the World Cup to Australia, Waqar joined Aaron Finch and Shane Watson for a post-match chat. With the two Aussies beaming with a smile, Waqar created a stir by saying, “I am a half-Aussie.”
The controversial remark by Waqar left Finch and Watson in splits. While everyone thought the former cricketer was ashamed to call himself a Pakistani, it turns out Waqar is indeed half-Aussie.
His cheeky reply has not gone down well with the majority of Pakistani fans. Already, with so many controversies regarding the World Cup, the latest one about Waqar has not been liked by Pakistani fans. One of the users commented by saying, “You are the first Pakistani; always remember that. Another one commented, “While you may have got Australian citizenship, Waqar Bhai, you are representing Pakistan in the broadcasting panel.
