Salman’s Butt on fire
P.S: this article is written with good humour and must be taken in good spirit!
It is going to be a terrible Thursday for Pakistan skipper Salman Butt who has been found guilty of cheating at the trial in a London court. Butt is likely to get a custodial sentence of about seven years. His partner-in-crime too faces severe charges for the same.
Butt has also rubbed the fashion police in a wrong way. Many fail to understand why the former Pakistan captain wore a velvet jacket to the court. “But, it was one of my favourite ones,” peeved Butt, even as he was taken away by the cops.
Former Pakistan players felt that Butt should have toned it down when it came to appearance on court. “He is a Pakistan cricketer and they have always been impeccably dressed. I am very ashamed at the way he has dressed and attended the court hearing. Butt necessarily needs to be put in jail for his atrocious fashion sense,” a former Pakistan cricketer on condition of anonymity said.
Former players seem to be happy with the way Asif turned up for the hearings. “Butt must learn from Asif. He looked dapper in a black suit, while Butt walked in as if he had come on a date,” said former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas.
Sources have revealed that the velvet jacket that Butt had worn was bought from a London outlet, allegedly owned by an Indian retail chain.
Former Pakistan pacer Sarfaraz Nawaz slammed the way Asif and Butt conducted themselves at the court premises. “They should have gone to a famous designer and got themselves good pair of jackets. They did not even feel it necessary to wear shades. Cricketers the world over appear on their shades even during evenings when there is no need for it. And these two failed to understand the fashion sense,” Nawaz said.
Meanwhile, Pakistan High Commission in London has sought to investigate the exact details of where both Asif and Butt purchased their clothing from. “It is important for us to know the details as the people of not just Pakistan, but the entire world are watching. It is very important for us to give a good image of our cricketers,” said a top-level source.
