New Delhi: Harbhajan Singh has lashed out at former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq after he revealed that the former Indian spinner was on the verge of converting from Sikh to Islam. The incident took place after a video surfaced on social media in which Inzaman could be heard talking about Harbhajan during one of India’s trips to Pakistan.

In the video that went viral, Inzamam revealed that Indian players like Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan and Mohammad Kaif would join the Pakistani players during namaz. He added that spinner Harbhajan Singh also came to listen to Maulana Tariq Jameel (preacher) after a few days.

According to Inzamam, Harbhajan stood in awe of Jameel’s words and said, “My heart says I want to follow his words, but considering your condition, I would stop.” Inzamam’s words made the audience laugh.

Harbhajan, however, disagreed with Inzamam’s words and said he is proud of being an Indian and a proud Sikh. Harbhajan retweeted the post on social media platform (What drunkenness is he talking about?).

“I am a proud Indian and proud Sikh..yeh Bakwaas log kuch bi bakte hai (These rubbish people talk everything).” Meanwhile, in a recent development, Inzamam stepped down as chief selector of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

“The Pakistan Cricket Board has accepted the resignation of Inzamam-ul-Haq as Chairman of the National Men and Junior Selection Committee and will announce his replacement in due course,” PCB said in a media statement.

“Inzamam-ul-Haq voluntarily resigned from his post on October 30 to allow the PCB to conduct a transparent investigation into the allegations of conflict of interest.”
