Haris Rauf, Snubbed from T20 World Cup, Spotted Flying Kites After India Mockery

• Haris Rauf, excluded from the T20 World Cup 2026 squad, was seen flying kites with Hassan Ali in Pakistan.
• Rauf's exclusion raised eyebrows, especially after his poor performance in the Asia Cup final against India, where he conceded 50 runs in 4 overs.
• He had previously mocked Indian players on the field, leading to an ICC sanction.
• Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson stated Rauf was excluded because the selected pace attack (Shaheen, Salman, Naseem) is more versatile across all game phases.
• The 2009 champions will play their matches in Sri Lanka under a hybrid model, avoiding direct visits between Pakistan and India for ICC tournaments.
