The Cochin University B.Tech Alumni Association (CUBAA) in Dubai is facing criticism after former Pakistani cricketers Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul were seen being warmly received at their cultural event. CUBAA clarified that the cricketers were not invited guests but happened to attend a different event at the same venue. The incident took place during the ‘Ormachuvadukal Season 2’ dance competition on May 25, 2025, at the Pakistan Association Dubai. The group issued a statement expressing regret and emphasized that their appearance was unplanned and unsolicited. (PC: OpIndia)
