While the Pakistan Cricket Team may not be making noise on the field, off-field they are sure making enough noise to keep their fans entertained. The latest one to stir off-field controversy is Waqar Younis. After Pakistan suffered its second loss in the World Cup to Australia, Waqar joined Aaron Finch and Shane Watson for a post-match chat.

Waqar’s controversial remark to Star Sports left Finch, and Watson in splits. While everyone thought the former cricketer is ashamed to call himself a Pakistani, turns out Waqar is indeed half-Aussie.
