Pakistani cricketer Iftikhar Ahmad strongly criticized a user on the ‘x’ platform who spread untrue information about his comments concerning the Indian cricket team.
Recently on ‘X’, a user posted a misleading Tweet that wrongly attributed a quote to Iftikhar. In this fabricated statement, the Pakistani cricketer was falsely portrayed as comparing Indian players to street children. The tweet quoted:
“Whenever we have match against India it feels like we are playing against street Children.”
As events unfolded, it became clear that Iftikhar Ahmad had never actually made the statement in question. He addressed the issue by taking to his Twitter account and firmly denying the claim. In his tweet, he directly addressed the user responsible for spreading false information and criticized them for not only disseminating inaccurate details but also for propagating a negative and hateful narrative.
In his Tweet, Iftikhar Ahmed also appealed to Musk to suspend the account responsible for the misleading post. He wrote:
“I’ve been made aware of this statement which I’ve never made. In fact, no professional cricketer will make such a statement. Please stop circulating false news & report this individual for spreading hate.
@X @elonmusk please ban this account as people are misusing the blue tick.”
Iftikhar Ahmed’s inclusion in the Pakistan squad for the Asia Cup 2023 has been confirmed. The Pakistani team will kick off their tournament journey against Nepal, followed by a much-anticipated match against traditional rivals India in their second fixture.
Pakistan squad for the Asia Cup 2023:
Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Haris Rauf, Salman Ali Agha, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Haris, Shadab Khan (vc), Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jnr, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Abdullah Shafique.
