Few hours after Australian veteran all-rounder James Faulkner left the 2022 Pakistan Super League (PSL) midway, a Pakistan based journalist and former match presenter associated with PSL Farid Khan has slammed the cricketer for his actions.
It is to be noted that Faulkner on Friday afternoon left his franchise Quetta Gladiators camp after being ill-treated by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and his franchise. The 31-year old all-rounder has accused the PCB and PSL of not releasing his payments and lying to him since the start of the tournament. However, the Pakistani journalist has criticized Faulkner saying that there has never been a single issue with PSL due to non-payments ever.
Faulkner has been involved in controversies in the past too: Farid Khan
Writing on Twitter Farid Khan said, “Faulkner has been involved in controversies in the past too, I didn’t want to tweet it but I will have to. Faulkner was sent back home this morning, he had broken the chandelier of PC hotel in Lahore too, had thrown his personal belongings in disgust as well. ”
“I apologise to the Pakistan cricket fans. But unfortunately, I’ve had to withdraw from the last 2 matches and leave the @thePSLt20 due to the @TheRealPCB not honouring my contractual agreement/payments. I’ve been here the whole duration, and they have continued to lie to me,” he wrote.
“It hurts to leave as I wanted to help to get international cricket back in Pakistan as there is so much young talent and the fans are amazing. But the treatment I have received has been a disgrace from the @TheRealPCB and @thePSLt20 I’m sure you all understand my position,” he added.
