NEW DELHI: Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja on Saturday found himself in troubled waters over his absurd questions to Pakistan captain Shan Masood on live television after the team’s series triumph over England.
In Rawalpindi, Pakistan thrashed England by 9 wickets in the decider to secure a superb come-from-behind 2-1 series win.
However, Ramiz was seen taunting skipper Masood after the match as he, rather than talking about series win, asked the captain “Aapne 6 losses in a row kaise achieve kiya?” (How did you achieve six losses in a row?).
Along with this, there were also a few other shots fired by Ramiz at Masood during the post-match show.
Ramiz’s behaviour didn’t go down well with former cricketers and fans at all as he faced severe criticism for his taunts.
Left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir too hit out at Ramiz for his post-match comments, saying that the former Pakistan cricketer should behave like a literate person.
“You should celebrate the series win. There is a series winning captain sitting next to you. You should have asked him about the win, next plans. But you are making fun of him. Have some respect. You are literate people and you should behave like one as well. Where the credit is due, you should give it. I was feeling so bad for Shan. Ramiz has been doing on-air duties for so long now and he has no idea what to ask a winning captain,” said Amir in a video posted on X.
The Test series win was Pakistan’s first on home soil since 2021. Their last triumph had come against South Africa at the start of 2021.
After that they had lost series against Australia, England and Bangladesh at home while a series against New Zealand had ended in a 0-0 draw.
It was also Pakistan’s first series win over England since 2015. Their previous win against England was by a 1-0 score-line in the UAE.
