The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has written a letter to the broadcaster over Ramiz Raja’s sarcastic remarks about captain Shan Masood.
Despite the victory, Ramiz Raja had engaged in non-serious conversation with Shan Masood, repeatedly mentioning his six failures as captain and suggesting that spinner Noman Ali might be anaemic.
This behaviour drew severe criticism on social media. Cricketer Muhammad Amir also criticized Ramiz Raja, stating that instead of finding faults, credit should be given where it is due.
