David Warner has faced backlash after a remark made during a Pakistan Super League press conference went viral online. The comment has drawn criticism from many fans.
Warner, who is leading Karachi Kings this season, reacted during the media interaction when other captains were talking and laughing. He paused and said, “Sorry, gentlemen, we have got school kids here.”
The remark did not go well with a section of viewers. Many felt the tone was disrespectful, especially during a formal press event with senior players present.
Cricketers like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi were among those at the event. Some users also shared unverified claims about the incident, but no official clarification has been given.
Warner also faced criticism for using his mobile phone during the press conference. Some fans described this as unprofessional behaviour for a senior international player.
The incident has triggered wider discussions about discipline and presentation. Many believe such moments can affect the league’s global image.
The Pakistan Super League is set to begin on March 26. The tournament will take place in Lahore and Karachi this season.
Despite the controversy, organisers are expecting strong viewership. Efforts are being made to improve the broadcast experience for fans watching from home.
