New Delhi [India]Pakistan men’s national team assistant coach Azhar Mahmood said those involved in spreading false accusations and reports targeting his family “will be dealt with through legal action.”
Pakistan’s miserable T20 World Cup run came to a heartbreaking end as Babar Azam’s side were eliminated in the group stage.
Mahmood said he was upset to hear such false and baseless allegations.
“I have heard false claims and stories circulating on social media and other media platforms. I categorically state that these claims are totally baseless and false. It is extremely upsetting to hear,” Mahmood wrote on X.

The Pakistan assistant coach urged people to stay away from such stories. He even said that he would take legal action against those responsible for spreading such stories.
“This culture of false accusations and making people believe false narratives has now become absurd and dangerous. Making statements without evidence and misinterpreting facts is a criminal offence and those who indulge in such behaviour will be punished through legal action,” he wrote. “Trying to gain more followers and media attention by spreading falsehoods is totally unacceptable. Legal advice will be sought against those responsible for making these false accusations against me and my family and strict action will be taken accordingly. We will not be discussing the matter further on social media. I urge everyone not to engage with or engage with these harmful narratives as it is essential to put an end to such behaviour in our media culture,” he concluded.
Earlier, Geo News had reported, citing sources, that captain Babar Azam is also likely to take legal action against YouTubers and former cricketers who have accused him of “misbehaviour” during his time in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
A Geo News source said a social media campaign had “targeted” Babar during Pakistan’s election campaign and “disheartened” him.
It was also reported that evidence relating to the statements made by the YouTuber and former cricketer was being collected by the Pakistan Cricket Board’s legal department.
