Mr. Bean Controversy Between Zimbabwe And Pakistan

The Mr. Bean row is associated with a Pakistani comedian, Asif Muhammad. Back in 2016, Asif traveled to Zimbabwe posing as the actual Mr. Bean, a well-known character played by actor Rowan Atkinson. The Zimbabwe people often term this doppelganger of Mr. Bean as the “Pak Bean” who did fraud with them. Furthermore, recently, the PCB uploaded a post on its official Twitter account showing how the players are prepping for the clash with Zimbabwe on October 25th.

To this, a Twitter user named Ngugi Chasura responded by tweeting,

As Zimbabweans we wont forgive you…you once gave us that Fraud Pak Bean instead of Mr Bean Rowan ..we will settle the matter tommorow just pray the rains will save you…#ZIMVSPAK
