Former Pakistan cricket team captain Moin Khan on Tuesday denied false rumours about his death that had been circulating on social media.

The rumours began spreading on Tuesday morning, prompting the former star to address the matter personally.

In his video message, Moin Khan expressed regret over the misinformation, saying, “Since this morning, a rumour about my death has been circulating. Those responsible for spreading it have shown extreme irresponsibility.”

He assured fans and the cricketing community that he is in good health and perfectly fine.

The clarification helped ease the anxiety among his supporters and cricket circles.

It is worth noting that recently, Moin Khan Rajput, a local cricketer from Hyderabad, passed away at the age of 65 due to a fatal heart attack.

His funeral was held in Latifabad, Hyderabad.

Moin Khan, the former wicket-keeper captain of Pakistan, made his One Day International debut for Pakistan against the West Indies at Multan Cricket Stadium on November 13, 1990, and played in his maiden Test the same year at Iqbal Cricket Stadium, Faisalabad.

During his international career, Khan scored 3,266 runs in 219 ODIs and 2,741 runs in 69 Test matches.

He retired from international cricket in 2004.
