Here's what happened

Razzaq during a press conference was addressing the media about the Pakistan cricket team's performance and coaching strategies. Razzaq mentioned Aishwarya Rai in a metaphor that was widely perceived as disrespectful.

Razzaq said, "When I was playing, I was aware of my captain Younis Khan's good intentions. That gave me confidence...and I was able to perform well for Pakistani cricket."

Referring to PCB, he said: "We don't really intend to improve and enhance the players, in my opinion. That will never happen if you believe that I will marry Aishwarya (Rai) to have a good-natured and moral child. Therefore, you must first amend your intentions."

Shoaib Akhtar said, "No woman should be disrespected like this."

Shahid Afridi, who was present at the event and initially seen clapping, later clarified that he did not hear Razzaq's comment at the time and expressed his intention to ask Razzaq to apologize publicly.
