'It Was Meant To Highlight Challenges...', Sana Mir Clarifies 'Azad Kashmir' Remark After Backlash

By IANS News October 03, 2025 • 10:34 AM View: 289

ODI World Cup: The 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh on Thursday sparked a controversy after former Pakistan captain Sana Mir referred to batter Natalia Pervaiz as hailing from “Kashmir,” before calling it as “Azad Kashmir.”

The remark drew sharp reactions from various sections of social media and Sana has now issued a clarification via her ‘X’ account, saying that she has no malice in her heart and didn’t have any intention to hurt any sentiments.

“It's unfortunate how things are being blown out of proportion and people in sports are being subjected to unnecessary pressure. It is sad that this requires an explanation at public level.”
