Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has not been included in the T20 World Cup squad, which has led to Indian social media users expressing joy and criticizing him, calling Haris an ‘agent’ of their team.
On social networking site X, fans of the Indian cricket team slammed the fast bowler for not being included in the team and also referred to the signs of a plane crash during the match against India during the Asia Cup.
A user wrote while reporting Haris Rauf’s drop, ‘We will miss our secret agent at the event, he was there for us when we had difficult times’.
Indian X users also referenced the incident of the Indian plane crash during Operation Meerak Haq and one user wrote with a short video of the celebration after Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Haris Rauf, “Finally Haris Rauf’s plane crashed and Bumrah shot it down.”
An account named Tejesh wrote, “Big loss for India, Haris Rauf dropped from Pakistan’s T20 World squad, Tillakaratne Verma officially ended his career in the Asia Cup 2025, Virat Kohli started the T20 World Cup 2022 at the MCG and then Rohit Sharma in the World Cup 2023.”
Circle Universe wrote that ‘Indian favourite Haris Rauf has been dropped from Pakistan’s T20 World Cup team because he has always helped India win the match, when we thought that Pakistan would win today but he used to come and bowl some easy deliveries to Indian batters’.

India’s favourite HARIS RAUF DROPPED FROM THE T20 WORLD CUP TEAM OF PAKISTAN.
BCz he always helped team #India to win the match, where we think that today Pakistan won, but he came & bowled some juicy delivers to Indian batters.
A user wrote that Aakash Chopra, while commenting on Pakistan’s T20 World Cup team during the water break during the match between New Zealand and India, said that they have not selected the bowler who took the most wickets in the Big Bash League, it seems that his plane has crashed.
The protest of Bangladesh among Indian cricket fans was also mentioned and Hitman Hits wrote that ‘Pakistan has announced its 15-member squad after threatening to boycott the T20 World Cup 2026 in support of Bangladesh’.

During a press conference in Lahore, Aqib Javed responded to the question of Haris Rauf being dropped from the team by saying that we think about the conditions in which the team is playing and what combination can be better there.
He said that Haris Rauf has been playing for Pakistan for a long time, but if we look at the recent past, a different combination is being formed, so this team has been formed keeping in mind the conditions and since more matches are being played in Sri Lanka, what can be your best composition there.
It should be noted that Pakistan has announced a 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup, in which former captain Babar Azam has returned, while Haris Rauf and Babar Azam have not been included in the team.
