Pak cricketers slammed for doing push-ups after match wins

KARACHI, Oct 26:
A controversy erupted today in Pakistan cricket over the issue of its players doing push-ups after matches to celebrate individual or team successes.
Najam Sethi, former Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board and now head of the executive committee, found himself at the centre of the controversy while appearing before a standing committee of the National Assembly in Islamabad.
During the meeting lawmakers of the PML-N ruling party — Rana Muhammad Afzal and Chaudhry Nazeer Ahmad — asked what message players are giving by doing the push-ups.
“It would have been better if the players offered nawafil (special prayers) or Sajda instead of doing press-ups on the victory,” Afzal said.
Apparently Sethi in response told the committee members that and players had been told to avoid them. (PTI)
