Sarfaraz Ahmed has put himself into a whole lot of trouble after he referred to South Africa's Andile Phehlukwayo as 'Abbay Kalay'.
During Pakistan's second ODI against South Africa, Sarfaraz referred to the South African as 'Abbay Kalay' after Andile survived getting out on several occasions.
"Abbay Kaale Teri Ami Kahan Bethi Hoyi Hain Aaj, Kya Parhwa Kay Aya Hai Aaj" is what Sarfaraz was heard saying through the strumps microphone, which translates to "Black man, where's your mother sat? What have you asked your mother to pray for you today?"

It is quite clear that Ramiz Raja was embarrassed too because when he was asked to translate it, he excused and said it was a long sentence so it was hard to translate.

What Sarfaraz said might not be racism to him, but as captain of the PAKISTANI NATIONAL CRICKET TEAM, he needs to be more aware of things around him. He should be more careful, because he is representing over 220 million people around the world.
