The Pakistan Cricket Board has apologized for its latest Tweet about its new bowler Hasan Ali. The board had wished Hasan Ali on his birthday, a day that he will turn 27 in July. The tweet included a list of his achievements, but it contained the wrong emoji. The middle finger emoji invited ire from Hasan’s fans. It didn’t take long for screenshots of the tweet to circulate on social networks, but the Pakistani team has decided to apologize for the incident.
The PCB is a patron-in-chief of the Pakistan cricket team, and the board has announced a new board of directors. Asad Ali Khan and Ramiz have been nominated to replace Ehsan Mani. After a meeting with the PCB, the new committee will choose the chairman. Imran Khan will hold a press conference to announce the newly-elected PCB Cricket board members. After the meeting, Ramiz will be the first president of the PCB. The new board of directors will also appoint the chairman and appoint an executive committee. Both of these people will have a lot of influence over the selection of the World Cup squad and the sudden resignations of top players.
The PCB is under heavy fire on social media for its latest tweet, which misrepresented information about Babar Azam’s record of 2,500 T20I runs. Earlier, it had tweeted that Babar had passed Cheteshwar Pujara, Sourav Ganguly, Martin Guptill, and Aaron Finch in the list. Luckily, the PCB has deleted the tweet within an hour, but the controversy will continue.
The PCB’s new Tweet is yet another embarrassment. Its official statement referred to Babar Azam’s record as the fastest to reach 2,500 T20I runs. The PCB removed the tweet within an hour, apologizing to fans for their continued support. They should have learned from their mistakes and stop misrepresenting their new player. In the meantime, the tweet should never have been published.
The new tweet was posted less than an hour after the Pakistan Cricket Board had removed the post. The incorrect tweet also referred to Babar Azam as the fastest batsman to reach 2,500 T20I runs. The PCB later corrected the spelling in the statement and deleted the post. If you’re wondering where the error occurred, you’ll find it in the official statement. In the new tweet, the PCB misspelled “foolproof” and tweeted, “Foolproof.”
The PCB’s recent Tweet incorrectly referred to Babar’s new record as the fastest T20I batter, but that was not the case. In fact, Babar has since been replaced by Martin Guptill. The tweet has been deleted, but it’s still unclear what happened to Babar Azam’s record. But the cricket board has a history of mishaps on social media. One such tweet was the mistake by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
