Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif has openly glorified his connections with one of India’s most wanted terrorists, Dawood Ibrahim, amidst the deadlock between India and Pakistan over next year’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
In a shocking yet controversial statement about his connection with Dawood Ibrahim, Rashid Latif has openly claimed that he is residing close to the terrorists’ residence in Karachi, referring to him as “Bhai,” a term often associated with the underworld figure.
The remarks have drawn widespread criticism on social media, especially as Latif suggested India should play the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinals in Karachi, further adding fuel to the fire. His explosive comments come at a time when tensions between the two nations remain high over the Champions Trophy 2025.
During the conversation, Rashid mentioned how N. Srinivasan’s IPL franchise was involved in spot-fixing during an interview, and then the host called him a madman, leading the former Pakistani cricketer to threaten him of Dawood by saying, “He is living beside his home.”
He then indirectly warned India by saying, “Whom are you messing with? I stay near Bhai’s house, hinting at Dawood staying in Karachi. Now, he has been bashing by the fans on social media and backing the BCCI’s decision not to send Team India to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025.
