Pakistan cricket great Imran Khan calls PSL foreigners 'phateechar'

Imran Khan

Former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan stirred up a controversy by calling the foreign players, who were part of the recently concluded Pakistan Super League final, as 'phateechar' (dishonourable).

In a video which has gone viral, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief said: "Only two or three players didn't want to come. The rest are all phateechar players who would have come anyway," he said.

"I don't even know the names of any of these foreign players. It seems they just caught players from anywhere and got them here."
