Avoid mudslinging on Youtube: Ramiz Raja urges former cricketers

LAHORE: Former Pakistani cricketer Ramiz Raja has urged former Pakistani cricketers, who have opened channels on Youtube, to avoid making any comment which can hurt the reputation of Pakistan’s cricket. 

On his Youtube channel, Raja spoke about recent controversies made by former cricketers on several topics through their Youtube channels.

He said, “Mic is a very powerful medium. Avoid mudslinging on Youtube and be respectful and say things that are digestible.”

Indicating Shoaib Akhter’s case he said, “I am saying all this because the Pakistan Cricket Board has filed cybercrime cases against one or two individuals. Some people have also crossed boundaries because when you are frustrated, you vent.”

It is pertinent to mention here that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s legal advisor Tafazzul Rizvi filed a defamation suit against Shoaib Akhtar for bashing PCB’s legal team on Youtube after they banned cricketer Umar Akmal for three years for breaching Article 2.4.4 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code in two separate incidents.
