Former Prime Minister Imran Khan also criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) led by Mohsin Naqvi in the wake of the defeat. Imran took to social media to describe the loss as “embarrassing” and accused the Naqvi-led PCB of “destroying” the sport in Pakistan by appointing “favoured officials.”
“Cricket is the only sport the entire nation watches with great interest on TV, but even that has been destroyed by powerful quarters who brought in an unqualified, favoured official to maintain their control,” Imran Khan said, as quoted by his X account.
