Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed said on Sunday that he, along with other team players, was subjected to abuse in shopping malls following his side’s defeat to India at the 2019 World Cup.

“The incident which took place after the Indian defeat, the boys spent a tough time in London for a week. It wasn’t only me who was subjected to it, but many other players were also targeted in the shopping malls. Some things that happened did not come to the fore and we have reported them to the team management,” Sarfraz said.

Pakistan failed to qualify for the semi-finals owing to an inferior net run rate compared to New Zealand.
