PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi reacts to Haris Rauf fight incident; tells the fan to apologize or take legal action

Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB chief, has reacted strongly to the recent incident where pacer Haris Rauf and a Pakistani fan got into an argument in the US.

Naqvi, in a strongly worded statement on social media, said he condemned the incident and lashed out at the fan, who was accused of verbally abusing Haris Rauf.

Haris Rauf was seen walking down the sidewalk with his wife when a fan interrupted him and appeared to ask for a photo.

A moment later you see Haris Rauf jumping off the sidewalk on the other side and arguing with the fan. Rauf was furious and the fan almost got into a fight before being removed by others.
