Former captain and cricket analyst Rashid Latif’s contract with Pakistan Television (PTV) has been terminated following his critical remarks about PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
Following the Pakistan cricket team’s poor performance in the ICC T2oI World Cup, Latif expressed significant dissatisfaction with its performance and openly criticized Mohsin Naqvi, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman.
His dismissal during the T20 World Cup has sparked considerable controversy and debate. Journalists report that Latif’s critical remarks about Chairman Mohsin Naqvi on state television were seen as the main reason for his dismissal.
Journalist Zubair Ali Khan commented that criticizing Naqvi has seemingly become a punishable offence, leading to Latif’s abrupt removal from PTV.
