The new head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Nasim Ashraf, has caused some controversy due to his recent remarks about the cricket team and religion. And what exactly did he say?
"There is no doubt their religious faith is a motivating factor in the team. It binds them together. But there should be a balance between religion and cricket."
I don't understand why there is anything remotely controversial about this statement! Any idiot can see that the cricket team has become totally Islamized, leading most disastrously to the conversion of Yousuf Youhanna last year. Whatever happened to the stereoptype of the decadent-partying-playboy cricket player? It's been replaced with another ugly stereotype, complete with jamaat namaz. By the way, the picture features Saeed Anwar, who is no longer on the team but is perhaps single-handedly responsible for beginning the Islamization process in the team.
Frankly, Nasim Ashraf wasn't harsh enough in his statement.
