This is against Islam! Pakistanis could not digest 7 year old girl playing cricket; created a big scandal

Pakistan News: A video of a seven-year-old girl playing cricket in a remote corner of Pakistan has made her an internet sensation, but it has also sparked a controversy that no one expected. The now-viral video of Aina Wazir playing cricket with boys drew praise for her tremendous talent, but the man who made the clip was reportedly kidnapped by local militants and forced to apologize publicly, citing the girl’s act of playing cricket as being against Islamic values, Pakistani news website Voicepk reported. It is not known whether he was kidnapped by the Taliban or Pakistani militants, but this area shares its border with Afghanistan.

Aina’s discussion reached abroad

Aina Wazir’s video was shot in North Waziristan, a mountainous district in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa bordering Afghanistan. Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is active in this area. In the clip, Aina can be seen bowling and batting with ease with the boys of her village. The footage was recorded by local citizen journalist Zafran Wazir and shared on social media, where it went viral, especially on Pakistani platforms. Among those who took notice was Javed Afridi, chairman of Pakistan Super League (PSL) cricket franchise Peshawar Zalmi, who described Aina as a “fantastic talent”.

forced to apologize

According to Pakistani media, Zafran Wazir said in the apology video, “Friends, you must know that a few days ago I had made a video of Aina Wazir. Our aim was to show that she was a young girl who had good bowling skills. However, the video went so viral that many people said that it is against Islamic values and Pashtun traditions. I apologize for this. What I did was wrong. People should be warned from making such videos. To avoid causing trouble to others, I have told them that making that video was my mistake, and I will not upload such a video again.
