Pakistan Cricket Board and Shan Masood were at the wrong end of social media trolling once again after their victory over England in the second Test at Multan on Friday.
Pakistan captain Shan Masood goofed-up the honour’s board at the stadium while updating the result as he wrote Pakistan under the Opposition & Winner’s columns instead of England & Pakistan.
It is a tradition in international cricket for players to update the famous honour’s boards themselves and then pose for pictures in front of it.
Masood and his star performers Spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan were doing the same when the skipper made the mistake which wasn’t corrected by the stadium or PCB officials.

The Pakistan board in fact, posted the video of the goof-up on their social media handles which was immediately noticed by netizens which led to brutal trolling on X and Instagram.
