Pakistani fast bowler Ihsanullah has broken his silence over the recent emotional videos circulating on social media, where he appeared distraught and suggested quitting cricket due to a personal dispute with a teenage friend named Abdullah.
The right-arm speedster, known for his fierce pace and aggressive on-field performances, stunned fans last week when he posted a series of videos on social media in which he was seen visibly emotional and on the verge of tears.
His bizarre series of videos concerned fans until he revealed in an interview that his emotional distress was due to a personal conflict with his friend.
He further announced that he would not play cricket unless he did not get along with his friend.
“I would like to tell one thing about cricket that I will only play cricket when my friend comes back,” Ihsanullah had said during the interview.
“I am adamant about this and it’s a challenge for everyone. I will play cricket when my friend returns. I leave the rest to the masses.”
His remarks did not sit well with cricket fans, who expressed their discontent over his decision through social media posts and criticised the pacer.
