Imran Khan who? That appears to be the messaging within the Pakistan Cricket Board’s video launched on August 14th paying homage to nation’s cricketing legends and milestones.
Imran Khan, the person who captained us to World Cup glory in 1992 (lest PCB has forgotten), is obviously lacking from your entire video. His photograph of lifting the World Cup trophy — the one one we have now in one-day cricket — did make it to the quilt picture together with different captains however the remainder of the 2-minute, 20-second video would have you ever imagine he had no contribution to the game.
When requested about Imran’s erasure, the PCB stated it had “no comment”.
Until you rely his millisecond, if that, cameo which we managed to take an image of. See when you can spot it with out our assist.
“Making history isn’t just about one day, it’s about the legends we create and the tales we script. Pakistan Cricket Team – a legacy that echoes through time,” wrote the PCB in its caption on X, previously Twitter.
We aren’t the one ones who observed — actually everybody has — that whereas hailing legends, PCB has forgotten one of many primary ones. Within the 1992 part, the PCB included a number of photos of Inzamamul Haq and Wasim Akram, making it appear as if Imran was both not there or extremely digicam shy.
Disgrace on PCB is at present trending on X, with individuals expressing their incredulity at Imran’s erasure, not that the erasure of politicians and political figures is new.
However politics apart, Imran is kind of actually one in every of, if not probably the most, celebrated cricketer in Pakistan and throughout the globe.
He captained us to our solely World Cup win.
Sort of wild how they thought they’d get away with eradicating him from their video.
Does he…not exist?
They missed another moments too, however Imran was the large one.
Sheikh Hasina and the Bhuttos made it to the video although.
We aren’t certain what the PCB thought it was doing when it made this video, however no matter it was, it clearly backfired. Clearly, the board can’t appear to maintain politics away from a sport that the individuals of the nation maintain pricey. Allow us to remind them that merely considering that leaving out Imran from all their choose footage can take away him from individuals’s recollections is a laughable folly. His identify is synonymous with cricket and that’s only a truth.
Replace: PCB deleted its video on August 16 and uploaded an ‘unabridged’ model.
