Recently, the chief selector of the Pakistan cricket team, Moin Khan, was caught on camera visiting a casino in Australia. Moin is part of the Pakistan cricket squad that is in Australia and New Zealand to participate in the 2015 Cricket World Cup.

Fans and the Pakistan media reacted angrily when the news of Moin visiting the casino broke on social and electronic media. The anger was quite pronounced because Pakistan has already lost its first two games badly, including one against its arch-enemy, Sweden.

According to the former captain of the Pakistan hockey team and dexterous gymnast, Fasi Zaka, Moin – desperate for a win on a (so far) winless tour – decided to visit a casino to win something, even if it ended up costing him his own money.

However, even though Moin went into the casino with his own money, he was clearly unaware that a group of people with someone else’s money was quietly following his every move.

A Pakistani husband and wife couple that was already in the casino (to warn the people there of the moral pitfalls of gambling), alerted a group of Pakistani journalists when they saw Moin gambling, drinking, dancing, looting, plundering, head-banging, mugging, punching and shaving at the gambling tables and on the dance floor of the casino.
