New Delhi: Former Pakistan captain Sana Mir continues on the commentary panel for the Womens ODI World Cup 2025 clash between India and Pakistan despite facing online backlash over the Azad  Kashmir controversial remark. Mir was criticised for her remarks during Pakistans tournament opener against Bangladesh. Sana Mirs Azad Kashmir remark sparked outrage While speaking about batter Natalia Pervaiz’s background she said captaining a very young side. Yes they have won the qualifiers but a lot of these players are new. Natalia who comes from Kashmir Azad Kashmir plays in Lahore a lot of cricket. She has to come to Lahore to play most of her cricket there. The reference of Azad Kashmir sparked outrage among the fans with many urging the International Cricket Council (ICC) to remove her from the commentary panel. ICC did not take action against Mir However the ICC did not take any action against her and Mir continued in commentary box for Sundays Ind vs Pak clash. Mir later took to her social media offering a clarification on her controversial remark. Its 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 Mir posted on X. Mir offered a clarification on her controversial remark My comment about a Pakistan players hometown was only meant to highlight the challenges she faced of coming from a certain region in Pakistan and her incredible journey. It is part of the story telling we do as commentators as where the players come from. I did that today for two other players coming from other regions too. Please dont politicise it. As a commentator on the World Feed we are meant to focus on the sport teams and players highlighting inspiring stories of grit and perseverance. There is no malice in my heart or any intention to hurt sentiments. I am also attaching the screenshot of where I research most of my players from whether from Pakistan or any other country. I realise that they have changed it by now but this is what I was referring to.
