PCB slammed for trying to erase Imran Khan from Pakistan cricket history
Legendary all-rounder was not part of the Independence Day celebratory video
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was slammed on Monday for excluding legendary all-rounder Imran Khan from its celebratory video on the occasion of country’s Independence Day.
The PCB incurred the wrath of Pakistan cricket fans as soon as the video was uploaded on the board’s official social media accounts.
Imran Khan played 88 Tests and 175 ODIs for Pakistan over the course of his illustrious cricket career.
His averages, 37 with the bat and 22 with the ball, kept him at the top of the quartet of star all-rounders, Ian Botham, Richard Hadlee and Kapil Dev being the others, who impressed one and all in Test cricket in the 1980s.
During Imran's last 10 years of international cricket, he featured in 51 Tests, averaging a remarkable 50 with the bat and 19 with the ball.
Imran also led Pakistan to their first series victory in England in 1987 but the best moment of his career came when the Men in Gren clinched the 1992 World Cup trophy under his inspirational leadership.
The cricketer-turned-politician is currently behind bars on corruption charges after a court convicted him in the Toshakhana case, sentencing him to three years in prison and later, the election commission disqualified him for five years from running for office.
