The Pakistan Cricket Board is getting slammed after an indelible performance. Well, the player’s performances have gotten some attention; however, now the PCB is under the radar due to the cheap quality kit they provide their players with in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025. The former cricketer and current coach Atiq-uz-Zaman chose social media to condemn the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The players were seen wearing jerseys drenched in sweat, dripping and sticking onto their bodies, on their ongoing march against UAE, 17th September.
He went on to their “X” handle after Pakistan’s win. He stated, “Pakistan players are sweating through low-quality kits while others wear proper dry-fits. This is what happens when tenders go to friends, not professionals. Corruption dripping more than the sweat,” in his tweet.
After his tweet, many others voiced their consent on this matter. While diving into it, it was found that, in the PCB website, there was no mention of a kit sponsor for their national team. Other than that, the sponsors like Pepsi, TCL and Parkview City have found their space on the website.
Pakistan has been leading the headlines through the off-field controversies. After the India game, the controversies started with the handshake row, to which PCB responded with a removal request of Andy Pycroft as a match referee for the UAE game.
When the demand was not met, the Pakistan team was asked to remain at the hotel, delaying the game by an hour. After Pycroft apologised for the miscommunication, the PCB permitted the players to head to the stadium and face the UAE.
Thursday’s win gave Pakistan a green light for the Super 4 stage, which means they will face India again.
