The players of the national cricket team, along with their families, have reached Australia for the tour. Pakistani social media users expressed their displeasure, and a barrage of jokes and taunts was directed towards the players.
The Pakistan Cricket Board shared a video on Twitter yesterday, showing the departure of the players who were heading to Sydney for the three-test match series.
On the social media site Twitter, Pakistani cricket fans took the board to task, stating that the players were either going to play the series in Australia or to celebrate Hani Moon. A fan named Maria Rajput wrote: “Honeymoon group has landed in Sydney, Australia.”
Honeymoon period in Australia…. ????
