The details of Tim Paine issue and Chat photo are as follows,

Tim Paine put himself in trouble when a four-year-old conversation with a female colleague resurfaced. In 2017, the experienced player sent multiple indecent text messages to a female colleague at Cricket Tasmania. After the situation became public, Paine opted to resign as Australia’s captain.

Importantly, the situation was disclosed to Cricket Australia (CA) 3 years ago, but authorities apparently sought to ignore it since the Australian squad was already suffering from the ball-tampering controversy in 2018.

Cricket Australia chairman Richard Freudenstein, on the other hand, has now conceded that Paine should’ve been fired 3 years ago. where both of the two are completely contradictory and opposite statements from Cricket Australia.

It should be mentioned that Freudenstein was not in charge at the time the incident was documented. When asked about it, the CA chairman confirmed that the earlier approach sent out the wrong message.

“I can’t talk about the 2018 decision, I wasn’t there. But I am saying based on the facts as they are today the board of Cricket Australia would not have made that decision,” Freudenstein mentioned.

“I acknowledge the decision clearly sent the wrong message that this behavior is not acceptable. The role of Australian cricket captain must be held to the highest standards,” he added.

I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and pain that I have caused: Paine

Meanwhile, Tim Paine admitted the mistake and the consequences are as follows,

However, when speaking to the media, Paine showed deep sorrow and even broke down. He did, although, express gratitude to his wife and family for supporting him over the situation.

“I’m announcing my decision to stand down as the captain of the Australian men’s test team. It’s an incredibly difficult decision, but the right one for me, my family, and cricket,” Paine added.

“On reflection, my actions in 2017 do not meet the standard of an Australian cricket captain, or the wider community. I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and pain that I have caused to my wife, my family, and to the other party,” he added.

This is about the issue that has been becoming viral and attracting the netizens about an allegation of text messaging a woman on Tim Paine.
