Another Day, Another Humiliation For Pakistan; Rizwan and Co Embarrass PCB Supremo On The Day He Becomes ACC Chairman

The Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan Cricket Team once again brought shame to their side on the same day that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) supremo Mohsin Naqvi became the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

The Men in Green are currently on a white-ball tour of New Zealand. Pakistan are facing New Zealand in a five-match T20I series and three ODIs.

In the 20-over series, Pakistan displayed a poor performance and conceded a disappointing 4-1 defeat against New Zealand. Meanwhile, in the ODIs also Rizwan's side have failed to put up a show.

Pakistan started their ODI series with a 73-run loss against New Zealand at the McLean Park in Napier on March 29. Meanwhile, in the 2nd ODI, the visitors have got a chance to make a comeback but again suffered an 84-run defeat against the Kiwis.
