Former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist has vehemently criticized a social media page for circulating fake quotes falsely attributed to him regarding the Pakistan’s performance in the recently-concluded Test series against Australia.
The World Cup-winning player, who worked as a broadcaster for local Australian news outlet Fox Cricket, has been under the radar of Pakistan fans for his alleged criticism directed towards the Pakistan side.
The bogus quote came to the limelight after Pakistan succumbed to yet another Test series whitewash on Australian soil.
The fake quote by Adam Gilchrist stated: “Pakistan is the worst Asian team in Australian conditions. What have they won here in the last 35 years.”

Refuting these allegations, Gilchrist took to his social media accounts to clarify the situation. He acknowledged Pakistan’s competitiveness against the reigning World Champions and highlighted their progress.
“I never said this. Absolutely fake, made-up quotes. Pakistan were excellent at times this summer, against a World Champion Aust team and very nearly pinched a Test or two,” Gilchrist wrote on X.
