The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released a statement denying the allegations against Mirza, emphasizing their commitment to supporting their players amidst such claims. In response to the accusations, Mirza took to Instagram to defend himself, labeling the allegations as baseless and condemning the reporting as ‘cheap journalism.’
In his Instagram post, Mirza stated, “An absurd News is circulating on media and I strongly condemn this sort of Cheap Journalism.” He further expressed his discontent with the media coverage, asserting that “Any Media House can’t air any unverified news.”
