The cricket team in England, the fast launcher Tom Curran, finally broke his silence on the claims that he “cried like a child” for fear during the growing tensions between India and Pakistan. Curran, who plays for Lahore Qalandars in the Super League Pakistan (PSL), expressed his relief to see the competition resume after the ceasefire. However, he completely denied the claims made by the versatile of Bangladesh, Rise Hossain, that the tensions left Curran and Daryl Mitchell from New Zealand extremely worried. Curran went to Instagram to share his side of history and said he had not cried in difficult situations.
“I am happy to see things resume, and I pray for continuous peace between two very special countries.”
“BTW promises, I did not cry; I was ready (laughing emoji),” he added.
Earlier, Curran found himself in the headlines after the revelation of Rishad.
“He (Tom Curran) went to the airport but heard that the airport was closed. Then he started crying like a small child, that it took two or three people to manage it,” Rishad in Cricbuzz told.
However, Rishad later apologized to Curran and Mitchell concerning his comments.
“I am aware that a recent comment that I made caused the confusion and unfortunately was distorted in the media, creating a false perception. He lacked full context and involuntarily overestimated the emotions involved,” he said in a statement.
“I sincerely regret that any misunderstanding he caused. I offered unconditional apology to Daryl Mitchell and Tom Curran,” he added.
The PCB confirmed on Tuesday the resumption of the Pakistani Super League on May 17, following a cease-fire between India and Pakistan.
The president of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohin Naqvi announced on social networks that the revised route would be announced shortly.
The final will be played on May 25.
