Why "#ShameOnPCB" is trending on twitter? Find out why Pakistan cricket fans are angry

Pakistan cricket fans are angrily slamming their cricketing board PCB on social media.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) finds itself in the midst of a social media storm following a video release that delves into the legacy of Pakistan cricket. The video’s intended celebration of cricketing history took an unexpected turn as it conspicuously overlooked one of the country’s cricketing icons, Imran Khan, leading to an outpouring of criticism and backlash from fans.

The video, with its theme of immortalizing cricketing legends and the stories they’ve woven, has inadvertently opened a discourse on the selectivity of its narrative. Notably absent from the montage is Imran Khan, a figure who not only captained the Pakistani cricket team with distinction but also steered them to a momentous victory in the 1992 World Cup.

The PCB shared a video on the legacy of Pakistan cricket, captioned, “Making history isn’t just about one day, it’s about the legends we create and the tales we script, Pakistan Cricket Team – a legacy that echoes through time.”

Imran Khan’s legacy is a tapestry of achievements that have enriched the annals of Pakistan cricket. His leadership at the helm of the team led to a string of remarkable triumphs, culminating in the historic World Cup win in 1992, an achievement that transcended sports to become an integral part of Pakistan’s cultural identity. Transitioning from cricket to politics, Imran Khan went on to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan, further cementing his stature as a national luminary.

Reason of omission of Imran Khan from PCB’s video

The video’s glaring omission of Imran Khan has ignited conjecture about the reason behind this choice. Recent legal entanglements and his arrest on charges of corruption may have cast a shadow on his public image, potentially influencing the PCB’s editorial decisions. However, the exclusion has not been well received by fans who assert that Imran Khan’s contributions to Pakistan cricket merit recognition regardless of his current predicament.

The omission has triggered a social media frenzy, with the hashtag #ShameonPCB trending prominently. Users have taken to platforms like Twitter to voice their disappointment and resentment. Many perceive the absence of Imran Khan as a deliberate attempt to sideline him due to ongoing legal issues.
