There is fresh controversy brewing in Pakistan over Shoaib Malik's wife Sana Javed's recent comments to Sarfaraz Ahmed on a TV show. In a TV game show in Pakistan, Sana got into an argument with former cricketer Sarfaraz Ahmed.
During the show, Sarfaraz claimed that he loved playing fast bowlers. Sana reacted to it in a cocky manner. In a bid to roast Sarfaraz, Sana told him: "You're speaking as if someone has wound you up like a toy."
Immediately, Sarfaraz responded by saying: "I played where I was supposed to."
The banter did not stop there as Sana went onto say: "Aap ko kya takleef hai, main apne miyaan ke saath jaise bhi khelun (I can play play however I want with my husband)."
Speaking of cricket in Pakistan, it is at an all-time low. The Men in Green lost all their matches at the Champions Trophy 2025.
The team faced a lot of backlash after the loss at CT 2025. Even the Pakistan team lost their first two T20I matches in New Zealand, before finally breaking the string of losses. Hasan Nawaz came up with the goods as he hit a breathtaking century off merely 44 balls. His knock helped Pakistan win the match with four overs to spare.
Two more games are left in the series and Pakistan need to win both to clinch the series. It will certainly not be easy, but the new-found confidence should help. It would also be interesting to see if Pakistan make any changes to their XI or not.
