He said in a statement that he would never get himself involved in
any kind of political activity.
“To my surprise, I have been informed that a false news item is circulating on social media stating that I will be contesting in the upcoming elections. Please note that I have no intention of contesting any election and I am very disappointed that incorrect information is being published in social media,” he said.
He said he had served the country to the best of his capacity as a cricketer and he wants to be very clear that he would never get himself involved in any kind of political activity.
“I will always support valid charities as a responsible citizen, as I feel that one should not try to make a difference in someone’s life by using political means. I also wish to emphasize that my reputation matters and I have certain principles and values in life that I treasure. Therefore, I am making a polite request to all social media users not to mislead the public and harm my reputation,” the statement further stated.
