Former Pakistani player Rashid Latif criticized the current squad for holding a “private dinner” with a $25 admission charge while they are in the United States for the T20 World Cup in 2024.
The cricket players and team from Pakistan never stop finding ways to stir up controversy. The Pakistani team is rumored to have held a “private dinner” in the US just before their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign began, inviting supporters for a “meet and greet.” But the program wasn’t charitable or offered for free. The ‘private meal’ cost $25 US, which infuriated many in the Pakistani cricket community. One of the greatest Pakistani cricket players of all time, Rashid Latif, used social media to draw attention to the startling initiative that the players and the Pakistan Cricket Board had put together.
Fans had to pay $25 USD to meet Pakistani players during the private meal, according to a video that Latif posted on social media. The legend from Pakistan and other people in the video were astounded by the concept.
“This is a private dinner; there are formal dinners. Who is capable of doing this? It’s awful. This indicates that you spent $25 meeting our players. In the video, Latif remarked, “God forbid, if there had been a mess, people would have said boys are earning money.”
Additionally, Latif said he could comprehend the concept of hosting charity meals but that a private dinner that would require payment would be beyond his means.
According to what people tell me, when someone phones the Pakistani players, they simply ask, ‘How much money will you give?’ It’s now typical to do this. We had two or three formal meals back then, but otherwise things were different. However, because of the World Cup, this is highlighted. Players ought to exercise caution, then.
