The Pakistan cricket team and it's board have been facing a lot of criticism after the debacle at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 event. The board and the team are facing relentless criticism from their own media. A new video has surfaced online where a panellist during a cricket show on ARY News tried to find a silver lining in Pakistan’s embarrassing exit by pointing out that their name would always be on the champions' blazer.

The panelist had initially expressed his disappointment over the absence of a PCB official during the prize distribution ceremony. He claimed that India had been sidelining Pakistan throughout the tournament, from refusing to wear jerseys with their name to avoiding travel to their country.

However, he insisted that Pakistan had "won in the end" because their name was stitched onto the ceremonial white jacket worn by the Indian players.

However, the anchor, wasted no time in roasting him with a witty remark, saying, "Issi bahane Pakistan ko as darzi zarur yaad rakhenge (On this pretext, India will surely remember Pakistan as a tailor)," a response that had everyone laughing.
