Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan has reacted with humour after a fabricated report claiming that he had died began circulating on social media. The 28-year-old came across the false report while sitting with friends and responded with a sarcastic remark that quickly went viral.
Azam has not played for Pakistan since the 2024 T20 World Cup, but he remains active in domestic and franchise cricket. The wicketkeeper-batter recently played for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), while the fake death report has now attracted fresh attention on social media.
Azam Khan was looking at his phone alongside his friends a fabricated news report about his supposed death. The Urdu report claimed that he had passed away the previous day.
Rather than reacting with anger, the wicketkeeper-batter laughed at the bizarre claim and played along with the situation. He then delivered a sarcastic comment about his own international career.
“Bara acha player tha. Bechara kal Pakistan se khelne wala tha, mar gaya aaj” (He was a good player, poor guy. He was going to play for Pakistan tomorrow. He’s dead), Azam said.

His friends laughed at the remark, while the clip quickly gained traction across social media. The incident also highlights how quickly fabricated reports involving cricketers and other public figures can spread before their authenticity is checked.
Fake Death Reports Have Previously Targeted Azam Khan’s Family
The incident is not the first time the family has faced a false death report. In December 2025, social media rumours claimed that his father, former Pakistan captain Moin Khan, had died.
Moin Khan later released a video message confirming that he was alive. The latest incident involving his son has again drawn attention to the spread of unverified claims on social media.
Manipulated clips, fabricated reports and AI-generated content have made it increasingly difficult for users to distinguish genuine information from false claims. The latest video, however, allowed Azam to address the rumour himself while turning the situation into a light-hearted moment.
Azam Khan’s Pakistan Career and Karachi Kings Update
Azam Khan made his T20I debut for Pakistan against England in Nottingham on July 16, 2021. He has played 14 T20Is, scoring 88 runs at an average of 9.78, with a highest score of 30 not out.
His last international appearance came against the United States in Dallas on June 6, 2024, during the T20 World Cup. He has not returned to the Pakistan side since that match but has continued to feature in domestic and franchise cricket.
Karachi Kings signed Azam for PKR 3.25 crore at the first PSL auction in February 2026. He scored 74 runs against Rawalpindi during the tournament and was subsequently retained by the franchise for the upcoming PSL season.
Azam also made his List A debut for Pakistan Television in September 2018 and his T20 debut for Quetta Gladiators in the PSL in March 2019. His domestic career has continued despite his absence from Pakistan’s national team.
