In a recent match between the Khulna Tigers and Comilla Victorians in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), fast bowler Naseem Shah was caught making fun of his fellow countryman, Azam Khan. The incident was captured on video and quickly spread on social media, causing widespread outrage among the cricketing community.
Naseem was seen teasing Azam about his weight, and while the joke was intended to be lighthearted, it was not well-received. Social media users called out Naseem for fat-shaming and showed their support for Azam.
The video shows Naseem trying to stop Azam as he was approaching the crease, but Azam pushed him away with a smile. Naseem then proceeded to imitate Azam’s walking style, spreading his arms out, as Azam remained unaware of the situation.
