Simon Doull has rubbished Indian media reports which quoted the Kiwi commentator saying that he went through a horrid time in Pakistan during PSL 8 after criticizing Babar Azam.
Earlier this year, Doull, had slammed Peshawar Zalmi skipper, when he scored his maiden PSL century against Quetta Gladiators in the eighth edition of the tournament, saying that Babar should have prioritized the team and focused on looking for boundaries instead of slowing down the run-rate.
Indian media outlets ran stories on Thursday, quoting Doull’s following statement:
“Living in Pakistan is like living in jail. I was not allowed to go out as Babar Azam fans were waiting for me. And I stayed without food for many days. Even I was mentally tortured, but by the grace of God, I somehow escaped.”
