Ramiz Raja Criticizes Pakistan Spinner’s fashion Choices
Lahore, Pakistan – October 14, 2025 – Former Pakistan captain and commentator Ramiz Raja publicly mocked veteran spinner Abdur Rehman‘s attire during a recent television appearance, sparking debate among fans and raising questions about acceptable conduct from cricket personalities.Raja’s comments, made on a local sports channel, centered on Rehman’s perceived outdated and unconventional dressing sense.
The exchange highlights a recurring tension within the sport – the balance between on-field performance and off-field presentation. while Rehman, at 39, continues to be a valuable asset in domestic cricket, Raja’s critique underscores the increasing scrutiny players face regarding their public image. This incident arrives as the Pakistan cricket Board (PCB) increasingly emphasizes a modern,marketable brand for its players,perhaps creating friction with those who prioritize traditional values or individual expression.
During the broadcast, Raja reportedly commented on Rehman’s clothing, suggesting it was not befitting of a national-level cricketer. While the exact wording varied across reports, the core message conveyed a lack of style and a perceived disconnect from contemporary fashion trends.
Rehman,who last represented Pakistan in international cricket in 2014,currently plays for the Sindh province in Pakistan’s domestic first-class competition. He has taken 316 first-class wickets in 89 matches.The spinner has not yet publicly responded to raja’s remarks.
The incident has quickly gained traction on social media,with many users defending Rehman and criticizing Raja for what they deem needless and disrespectful commentary. Others have sided with Raja, arguing that players, particularly those representing the nation, should maintain a certain standard of appearance.The PCB has not issued any statement regarding the matter as of today.
