Former Pakistani cricketer Kamran Akmal was forced to apologize after he made inappropriate comments about the Sikh community during a live television show.
The comments came on a live TV show during the India-Pakistan match for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 match on Sunday. Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh was given the last over to defend the target of 120 runs set by India. Pakistan lost the match by eight runs in the match held at Nassau Country Cricket Stadium in New York.
“Kuch bhi ho sakta hai… 12 baj gaye hai (Anything can happen. It is already 12),” said Akmal while commenting on Arshdeep Singh during the show.
