An unfortunate incident took place during the Pak vs NZ match at a cricket ground in New Zealand, where Afghan spectators reportedly used foul language against Pakistani players, leading to a scuffle involving cricketer Khushdil Shah, reported 24 NewsHD TV Channel.
According to reports, tensions flared when Khushdil Shah confronted the spectators for making anti-Pakistan remarks. Instead of calming down, the Afghan fans intensified their rude behaviour. Two of them reportedly attempted to get physical with Khushdil Shah.
Following a formal complaint from the Pakistan cricket team, both spectators involved in the incident were removed from the stadium by security officials.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued an official statement strongly condemning the inappropriate behaviour and abusive language used by foreign fans against the players. The PCB stated that the Pakistan team management denounced the verbal abuse directed at national cricketers during the match held in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
