New Delhi: Pakistan’s ex-cricketer Kamran Akmal made it to the news again. Kamran’s sacrificial goat got stolen from his house in Lahore. This is not the first time the wicketkeeper-batsman is making it to the headlines for unusual reasons. Previously, he has been in news and meme culture for match-fixing and grammatically incorrect English.
Just days before Eid al-Adha, the cricketer bought six goats, which were tied outside his residence. His father has claimed that the theft might have taken place around 3 am. According to a report, the stolen goat was bought for 90,000 Pakistani Rupees (INR 35, 455) and was the best one amongst the six goats according to the cricketer’s father. The management of the housing society has promised that they will try to find the thieves and recover the stolen goat.
A few days back he was in news for criticising Pakistan cricketer’s selection committee for not selecting a strong squad for Pakistan’s tour to Sri Lanka. Pakistan will play 2 Test matches against Sri Lanka, with the first Test starting on July 16.
