“For us in Pakistan there is an easy solution to this serious allegation. This is an attack on the solidarity & integrity of Pakistan. We have information from credible sources (cipher) that cannot be revealed that he is working under the direct influence of foreign interests against our ideology. The patron of the PCB has ordered immediate action that includes registration of FIRs in all the cricket p🐼laying centers of Pakistan and his name is put on the ECLꦑ,” Alvi wrote on his social media platform X.
“For Gary! Dont worry, the ab♎ove is just a pun. Do your best to salvage our beleaguered cricket team,” he then added.
Former President Alvi’s comments came after reports from Kirsten’s team talk following Pakistan’s disastrous T20 World Cup campaign, crashing out of t൩he♊ group stage of the tournament.
"There's no unity in Pakistan team. They call it a team, but it isn't a team. They aren't supporting each other; everyone is se🎃parated, left and right. I've worked with many teams, but I've never seen such a situation," a report from Geo News quoted Kirsten saying.
Despite finishing the tournament with two back-to-back victories, and several results not going their way, Babar Azam’s men were knocked out of the tournament after their shocking defeat to the United States, which was followed 𓃲by a heart-crushing defeat to India.
