PAK vs AUS: After Pakistan's shameful defeat, why did Waqar Younis say - don't call me Pakistani

The 18th match of World Cup 2023 was played between Pakistan and Australia yesterday. In this match, Pakistan had to face a shameful defeat at the hands of Australia. Pakistan's team looked weak against Australia in both bowling and batting departments. At the same time, fielding was also very bad. Before the World Cup 2023, Pakistani veterans were calling the Pakistan team the biggest contender for the title, now after seeing the performance of the team, the same veterans have started feeling ashamed of even calling themselves Pakistanis. After the match, former fast bowler Waqar Younis surprised everyone by giving a strange statement.

After the defeat against Australia, Waqar Younis spoke to Aaron Finch and Shane Watson on Star Sports. During this, both the Australian greats looked very happy and Waqar Younis said that I am half Australian, don't call me only Pakistani. Finch and Watson were also shocked to hear this statement from Waqar. At the same time, Pakistani fans felt that perhaps Waqar Younis was feeling ashamed of the Pakistan team's defeat.

This strange statement by Waqar Younis is not acceptable to any Pakistani cricket fan. A fan has written that always remember that you are a Pakistani first. At the same time, another user wrote that Waqar Bhai, even though you have Australian citizenship, you are doing commentary only for the Pakistan panel in the World Cup.

Let us tell you that former Pakistani fast bowler Waqar Younis married Pakistani-Australian Dr. Faryal. Both of them also have three children (two daughters and one son). He lives with his family in New South Wales, Australia. Currently, Waqar Younis has come to India to do commentary in the World Cup 2023.
