coach answered
Obviously this narrow-minded question took the team’s manager by surprise, but he preferred to answer calmly instead of adopting any aggressive tone and advised to be progressive. Team manager Adil Rizki said, “In sports everyone should be progressive. As far as the dress is concerned, we have never tried to stop anyone, it is something that we do not control.
Since some of you asked about the response, by head coach Adeel Rizki, to the question. pic.twitter.com/I6QxQe82m0

class on twitter
After its video came on Twitter, a fierce debate started among Pakistani users. Most of these users told the journalist fiercely. At the same time, there were some users who supported this narrow thinking and justified this objection.
These type of reporters/journalists should be kicked out of the press conference. Our girls have played a tournament after 8 years, respect is what they deserve.

Instead of praising the girls for their amazing achievement, you are degrading them. Shame on these journalists who do anything for fame and money.

Someone should really tell that “journalist†to lower his gaze and look up the phrase “There is no compulsion in religionâ€.
