Durban, Jan 24 (UNI) After drawing severe criticism for his ‘anti-racist’ remark against South Africa’s Andile Phehlukwayo during the second One Day International match here, Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed has extended an apology for his comment.
On Wednesday, the Pakistan skipper tweeted, “I wish to extend my sincere apologies to any person who may have taken offence from my expression of frustration which was unfortunately caught by the stump mic during yesterday’s game against SA. My words were not directed towards anyone in particular.”
In a racist comment to the South African batsman Phehlukwayo, Pakistani wicket-keeper on Monday, during an ODI, said, “Abey kaale, teri ammi aaj kahaan baitheen hain? Kya parwa ke aaye hai aaj? (Hey black guy, where’s your mother sitting today? What has she prayed for your luck?).”
