After facing a lot of criticism for ignoring Imran Khan from the video that was posted to celebrate the country’s achievements on the cricket field, the Pakistan Cricket Board now came up with an updated version of the video where they have mentioned the 1992 World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan. While releasing the video again, PCB called it the original version and said the earlier video excluded significant clips due to time constraints.

The newly made video has four new parts including Khan’s contributions when he lifted the coveted trophy as captain in 1992, Misbah-ul-Haq clinching the Test mace and women’s team winning the Asia Cup, and Nida Dar’s feat of 100 wickets.

“The PCB has launched a promotional campaign leading up to the CWC 2023. One of the videos was uploaded on 14th August 2023. Due to its length, the video was abridged and some important clips were missing. This has been rectified in the complete version of the video,” PCB wrote on its social media platform with the new video.

Previously, Imran’s former colleague Wasim Akram was also disappointed after not seeing Imran Khan in the video. He went on to ask PCB to remove the video and apologise. He said on X (Twitter), “After long flights and hours of transit before reaching Sri Lanka, I got the shock of my life when I watched PCB’s short clip on the history of Pakistan cricket minus the great Imran Khan… political differences apart but Imran Khan is an icon of world cricket and developed Pakistan into a strong unit in his time and gave us a pathway… PCB should delete the video and apologise.”

Imran has been a stalwart in Pakistan cricket, remaining one of the greatest cricketers of all time. He finished with 3,807 and 3,709 Test and ODI runs, respectively. Imran picked up a total of 544 international wickets. Later, he joined politics and became Pakistan’s Prime Minister from August 2018 to April 2022.
