A Pakistani fan replied to the PCB’s tweet and wrote, “This is a great kit and if the team does well in the World Cup it will look much better, that matters more than being fair!”

It is worth noting that Pakistan’s new kit had surfaced on social media before its official launch. A picture of Pakistan captain Babar Azam wearing the new kit went viral on Twitter. After this, many cricket lovers made fun of the green jersey for its unusual design. A Twitter user made fun of Pakistan’s new kit by comparing it to the striped pattern of a watermelon.

Meanwhile, Pakistani fans are eagerly waiting for the historic T20I series against England at home. The England cricket team is touring Pakistan after 17 years for a seven-match T20I series. Both the teams will be desperate to find a winning streak before going to the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia next month.
Pakistan will go into this series after suffering a humiliating defeat in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. The high-stakes finale exposed several weaknesses of the Pakistani batting line-up.
