In the cricket's mega event T20 World Cup, Pakistan registered its first win by defeating Canada by 7 wickets. After losing to America and then India, this win would have been a confidence booster for the Pakistani team. A video of this match has surfaced, in which Mohammad Aamir is seen showing the middle finger to a fan. As soon as this video surfaced, a controversy has arisen. This matter is related to the spot fixing scandal in 2010, in which Aamir was booed by fans on the field due to the same scandal.
Pakistani fans chanted 'fixer'
After the Pakistan vs Canada match at Nassau County Stadium, Mohammad Aamir went near the boundary line. Then some people wearing Pakistan team jersey created a ruckus and started shouting “Fixer!” Aamir became so angry that he gave the middle finger to the fan not once but twice.
Aamir became the player of the match
Let us tell you that Aamir was chosen as the Player of the Match for his brilliant performance in the match against Canada. He took 2 important wickets for just 13 runs in 4 overs. After coming back from retirement, it was expected that Aamir would stay away from controversies, but such controversial incidents always find him.
Why did the fan call fax?
Fans were seen calling Mohammad Amir a fixer after the Pakistani cricketer was found guilty in the 2010 spot-fixing case. The ICC imposed a 5-year ban on Mohammad Amir for being found guilty and he was only 18 years old at that time. After serving a 5-year ban, he returned to domestic cricket in Pakistan in 2015 and a year later he also returned to the Pakistan national team. After playing for Pakistan for almost four years, he announced his retirement in 2020. Now he has returned once again in 2024.
