However, while talking on a show alongside Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi, Razzaq said, “Actually, we don’t have good intention to develop and polish player in Pakistan. If you think that by marrying Aishwarya Rai, a good and pious kid would be wrong, it would never happen.”
However, in a latest video, Abdul Razzaq apologied for his comments. “I am Abdul Razzaq. Yesterday, during the press conference, we were talking about cricket, coaching and intention. It was a slip of the tongue of the kind that happened while I was giving an example to explain the situation. I wanted to give some other examples but accidentally Aishwarya’s name came up. I really want to apologise for my mistake, and I want to say sorry to Aishwarya. That was not my intention. I really apologise,” he said.
