A self-proclaimed cricket expert Nadeem Alam has been exposed as an imposter, who was posing as former Pakistan international batsman Nadeem Abbasi in order to give his 'expert' cricket opinions on BBC World News, BBC Asian Network and Radio Five Live.
After the disclosure of his identity, Alam stated that he liked to think he had been 'talking good cricket', however, added that he would no longer pretend to be Nadeem Abbasi, the Daily Express reported.
Meanwhile, Abbasi, who played three Tests for Pakistan in 1989, said that if he ever finds Nadeem Alam, he would punch him in the face for damaging the country's reputation, the report added.
The former cricketer insisted that the BBC was a big institution and surely they must check (facts).
Responding to the charges, a BBC spokesman said that they apologise to the real Mr Abbasi and would be looking seriously into what had happened.
