Actually, while talking about Pakistani player Natalia Parvez, she told that she comes from ‘Azad Kashmir’. But this comment created a lot of ruckus in India, Sana Mir was also trolled fiercely on social media. Now the former Pak captain has given clarification on this matter.

While commenting, Sana Mir had said, “Natalia comes from Kashmir, Azad Kashmir. Most of the cricket plays in Lahore. She had to come to Lahore to pursue her cricket career.” Claims were made on social media that Sana Mir deliberately took the name of ‘Azad Kashmir’ during the commentary. Even demanded to be removed from the commentary panel.

Sana Mir gave a clarification on this matter through social media and said that his point was exaggerated. The former Pak captain said that his statement was not going to hurt anyone and he is being exaggerated. He was adamant on her statement and said that during the commentary, she did not say anything inspired by politics and she was just talking about the facts.

He said, “I mentioned the hometown of the Pakistani player simply, so that I can tell how many difficulties they have reached here. These are part of the commentary, in which we say where a player comes from. I also told about 2 other players who come from other areas. I do not make it a political issue.”

A new controversy has emerged in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025. Former captain of Pakistan women’s cricket team Sana Mir has given a new controversy by referring to ‘Azad Kashmir’ during the commentary. Actually, this case is of Pakistan vs Bangladesh match played on Thursday, in which the Pak team was batting first and piled up for just 128 runs.

While discussing the background of Natalia Parvez in Pakistan-Bangladesh match, Sana Mir said that Parvez comes from ‘Azad Kashmir’. Indian fans have erupted on his statement and are trolling the former Pak captain fiercely. Jammu and Kashmir has been an integral part of India, but Pakistan has been claiming its claim on it for many decades.

Given the political relations between India and Pakistan, Sana Mir can become a big controversy in commentary because the Asia Cup Trophy Controversy is not over yet. In the Asia Cup 2025, 3 matches were played between India and Pakistan, in which the Indian team did not join hands with Pak players. At the same time, after winning the final, Team India refused to take the trophy from the hands of PCB chairman and ACC President Mohsin Naqvi. This trophy dispute is still going on.

Sana Mir, who mentions ‘Azad Kashmir’ in Pakistan vs Bangladesh World Cup match, would not even know herself that only 2 words she said will give rise to a very big controversy. It is so important that Indian fans are not seen in the mood to spare them on social media. An Indian fan demanded that Sana Mir should be dismissed from the commentary panel as soon as possible.
