However, while discussing the team's performance, Abdul made a distasteful remark against Aishwarya.
During the media interaction, Abdul talked about the team's performance, he cited a distasteful comment on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He talked about the good intentions of the captain, Younis Khan. However, it was his 'out of the blue' comment that marrying Aishwarya Rai won't lead to good and pious kids, that left everyone in disgust. He was quoted as saying:
"Younis Khan had good intentions as a captain and it gave me confidence to perform better. Right now a lot of talk here is surrounded around the Pakistan team and the players' performances in the World Cup. I think we do not have the intention to polish and develop the players in Pakistan. If you think that by marrying Aishwarya Rai, a good and pious kid would be born, it would never happen."

One user also wrote, "thought the Zehniyat comment by Sohail Tanveer was the worst comment by a Pak Cricketer. This one is ten times worse and what's sad is Gul and Afridi think it's a perfectly good comment. Razzaq should be nowhere near a mic! Pretty sure his IQ is less than his batting avg!"
Pakistan's cricket team was unable to perform as per the expectations of their country in the 2023 World Cup. Despite being one of the most famous teams in the world, who had won the trophy in the 1992 edition, was only able to muster four victories out of nine matches.

He was in an interview with a Pakistani YouTuber, Nadir. Maommar revealed that when he first saw Priyanka Chopra at an event and couldn't recognise her. He was quoted as saying:
"I saw Priyanka Chopra. I didn't know, we were sitting (at an event). A woman came and sat on the side. We were talking amongst ourselves. I moved forward and backward, wondering where I should go. After a while, she got up and left. I inquired about who she was. The person I asked told me, 'You didn't recognize her?' I said no. Turns out, it was Priyanka Chopra who was seated. "
