The Pakistan Cricket Board was heavily trolled
Such moves are often taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board, which is why it is often difficult on the international stage. Once again, PCB did something that turned into a joke. In fact, on August 14, a video depicting the history of Pakistani cricket was published on PCB’s official Twitter account. But in that video there was no footage or mention of the country’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who captained the country to world champions at the 1992 World Cup. After that, fans and veterans like Wasim Akram on social media heard the board very well. Now the PCB has accepted its mistake and released a new video on Wednesday evening.
Pakistan Cricket has corrected its mistake
The new video was posted by Pakistan Cricket late on August 16 while the old video was deleted. In the caption of this video, it was written that on August 14, PCB had released a video showing the journey to the 2023 World Cup. Due to the size of the video and its time limit, some key clips were missed. This has now been corrected in the full version of the video. The new video includes several clips of former captain Imran Khan and also separately shows him accepting the trophy with the team. Wasim Akram, another member of the world-winning team, urged the board on Wednesday to rectify the mistake, saying to keep sport separate from politics.
PCB was heavily insulted
Let us tell you that there was a lot of commotion after this PCB step. Wasim Akram had already expressed his anger. Also, Imran Khan is so popular in Pakistan that after this PCB push, “Shame on PCB” trended on Twitter in Pakistan. At the same time, former PCB chairman Khalid Mahmood also reprimanded the PCB for its actions. He also said the video should be removed immediately. Now the PCB definitely learned from their mistake but got very offended in this whole incident.
Meme flood on social media
The Pakistan Cricket Board is being mocked a lot on social media. A lot of memes are also created after this whole incident. Speaking of Imran Khan, the country’s former prime minister is currently in prison. The founder of Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf party, PTI, Imran Khan has been in Attock prison in Punjab province since August 5. He was sentenced to three years in prison in a corruption case. The Pakistan Electoral Commission has also banned him from politics for the next five years.
