Simon Doull, a former New Zealand cricketer, recently received backlash from Pakistani cricket fans after he criticized Babar Azam during a match at the ongoing PSL. Doull accused Babar of prioritizing his personal milestones over the team’s goals. This sparked a flurry of reactions from fans on Twitter.

Now, during another T20 encounter between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans, Doull became a talking point after his comments on Samiya Arzoo, the wife of Pakistan cricketer Hassan Ali. As Islamabad celebrated their thrilling win over Multan, Doull commented on camera, saying that Samiya had not only won the game but had also won the hearts of many.

“She has won it. She has won a few hearts as well I believe. That is superb, absolutely stunning. And the victory,” said Doull.

The video of his commentary has gone viral on social media.

Doull’s controversial comments on the wife of Pakistan all-rounder has garnered attention and sparked debate on social media. Some criticized Doull for objectifying a woman, while others defended his comments as harmless.

Previously, Doull had questioned Babar’s decision to slow down the pace of scoring runs just when he was about to reach the 100-run mark. Doull stated that Babar was not putting the team first and was instead focusing on personal milestones. He suggested that Babar should have been looking for boundaries, especially since there was still a lot of firepower to come. While hundreds are brilliant and stats are great, team goals should come first, Doull emphasized.

Meanwhile, the match between Islamabad and Multan saw the Shadab Khan-led team win by 2 runs, chasing down the target of 206 runs on the penultimate ball of the match.
