Cricketer Javeria Khan has responded to the critics who have targeted the under-performing athletes in a befitting way in her Twitter post.
She wrote on Twitter, “Those who do not follow Women’s Cricket in Pakistan, consider it their inalienable right to slam the players if they underperform. Questioning selection of the team, accuracy of shots, playing techniques or approaches, and strategies applied during the game is welcome.”
“Constructive criticism is always healthy, whether relative to women’s or men’s crickets. But resorting to vile comments, and attacking players’ private lives is both outrageous and unwarranted.”

“One should first step and walk in another person’s shoes before coming up with sweeping judgments or labelling someone as a failure. PS: Teams, athletes, and systems do not grow overnight. This is an evolutionary process that takes time. Women’s team needs your support and constructive criticism,” she concluded.
Javeria Khan’s tweet came after the back-to-back defeats of Pakistan’s women cricket team in the Commonwealth Games. On August 3, Australia Women won the match against Pakistan Women by 44 runs after they failed to chase the 161-run target.
Pakistan Women also faced defeats against India and Barbados teams.
