The video also mentions 1992 World Cup win as a huge moment in Pakistan cricket team. However, PCB has intentionally kept Imran out of the video.

This act by PCB has not gone down well with the fans, who feel that this is disrespectful. The thing is that PCBโ€™s new chairman Zaka Ashraf is quite close to Former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who dissolved the Parliament last week. Shehbaz is rival of former captain and PM Imran, who is head of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Shehbaz, who was PCBโ€™s Patron-in-chief, had a role in appointing Zaka as chairman. Fans are suspecting the political difference between Imran and Shehbaz as a reason why 1992 World Cup-wining captain is missing from Pakistanโ€™s I-Day celebrations video.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Wasim Akram showed his displeasure of watching the video which does not have a mention of Imranโ€™s contribution in 1992 World Cup win. The fact is that Imran had handpicked the team and despite a bad start in the tournament had led his side to a memorable win in Australia, beating England in the final. Akram requested the PCB to delete the video and also apologise to Imran for the distasteful act.
