A famous Pakistani cricketer has come under criticism for failing to pay for three cricket bats he bought at a New Jersey shop during the recently concluded T20 World Cup last year. The identity of the player is unclear. However, it is likely to be a well-known Pakistan batter. Babar Azam, Rizwan, Saim Ayub, and Fakhr Zaman were all on that Pakistan squad, and Waheed could be talking about them.

This claim surfaced after Waheed Khan, an experienced sports journalist, discussed the incident as the store owner is still awaiting payment. Although the store owner has made numerous attempts to reach the player who visited the store, there was no response.

The cricketer came to the shop before a crucial T20 World Cup game, chose three expensive bats to be purchased, and indicated they would return in the future to settle the payment. This related to the fact that it has now been months without a payment. ''I trusted him because of his name, but after a few days he is not answering my calls," the store owner said. “And I'm not susceptible to answering the door or trying another time that I couldn’t reach him.” 

This revelation has sparked discussions among cricket fans and followers; some have criticized the player for his failure to acknowledge the nature of retribution. Others have thought it to be a miscommunication.

A popular Pakistan player brought three bats from a cricket store owner in New Jersey during last year’s World Cup. The poor chap delivered the bats himself to the player in New York. The owner is still waiting for his payments and the player is not responding to his calls. V Sad

However, the Pakistan Cricket Board cricket board has not officially commented on this matter. If these revelations are accurate, it may question the morals and professionalism of all players in the international arena. We do not know yet whether the player will respond to the allegations, and we also do not know if the owner of the shop will escalate the matter legally. As this story develops, professional cricketers and journalists will no doubt be watching the developments very closely.

For now, the shop owner continues on, waiting for the cricketer to finally resolve the situation and bring an end to the controversy.
