A video of Shadab Khan sledging Shaheen Afridi during the Lions vs Panthers match in the Champions ODI Cup has gone viral.
During the match played at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad yesterday, Shadab’s team returned to the pavilion after scoring 283 runs in 46.5 overs, while in pursuit of the target, the Lions team was bowled out on 199 runs.
Shadab bowled to Shaheen in the 29th over, saying harsh words, but Shaheen kept calm and did not respond. In the next over, Usama Mir sent Shaheen to the pavilion in zero.
Shaheen’s performance in the match was disappointing. He gave 57 runs in 9.5 overs but took three wickets.
The Lions team, led by Shaheen, is in fourth place on the points table after losing two matches in a row, while the Dolphins are in last place after playing one match and losing.
District Police Officer (DPO) Dr Zahid has made a statement that terrorists used PUBG mobile to share information during attacks on a police post in the Swat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
DPO Swat said, “The three arrested terrorists involved in the police outpost attack have admitted to using PUBG for communication. They had created a chat group in the game to share information that the arrested accused were related to each other.”
On August 28, terrorists attacked the police post with explosives, in which one policeman, Rehmanullah, was killed while two policemen, Shafiullah and Mohammad Ayaz, were injured.
Earlier terrorists used Telegram to communicate, but this is the first time a game’s name has been revealed.
However, we have checked whether creating a chat group in the game and sharing such information is possible.
What’s the reality?
PUBG Mobile is a Chinese game launched in 2018. The Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) banned it in June 2020, but the ban was lifted later after meeting with company representatives.
This game has very strict rules and regulations on the use of language. Here are a few of them.
-Use of profanity or offensive slang, etc. -Expressions or behaviours that are sexually harassing, such as obscene words or sexual descriptions -Belittling, mocking or criticizing specific regions, religions, races, or individuals with disabilities, etc. -Expressions or behaviours that are threatening or intend to cause fear -Causing discomfort or aversion to users by using expressions or communicating in a manner prohibited by other terms and conditions of use
You can voice chat with eight people (in an 8v8 arena match) but cannot use offensive language.
You cannot write any offensive words. You will face a ban of one or more days if you try multiple times. You cannot even type any offensive word. The game system is organized so that it converts offensive words into *****.
Here is an example:
You can’t create groups in the game but can chat in voice or text while playing. You have to make sure you’re in the game to chat.
The game also requires more than 20 GB of memory and high-speed internet, and the internet speed in those areas is unsuitable for playing it properly.
