Imran Khan wasn't officially included in the tribute video that the Pakistan Cricket Board shared on social media on August 14.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) rectified it's mistake after a social media ire regarding its tribute video on Independence Day that did not add their 1992 World Cup winning hero, Imran Khan. Though the board did not reveal the decision behind dropping Imran Khan in the video, many fans and forner cricketers forced the PCB to rectify the video.
After a social media outrage, the Pakistan board shared another video on social media, that included Imran Khan, much to the delight of its fans who made #ShameonPCB one of the biggest trends on X (formerly Twitter) over the last few days.
"The PCB has launched a promotional campaign leading up to the CWC 2023. One of the videos was uploaded on 14th August 2023. Due to its length, the video was abridged and some important clips were missing. This has been rectified in the complete version of the video," the PCB wrote as it shared the new video.
Even former captain Wasim Akram lambasted the board over its decision to drop Imran Khan from the video that was shared on August 14.
"After long flights and hours of transit before reaching Sri Lanka, I got the shock of my life when I watched PCB's short clip on the history of Pakistan cricket minus the great Imran Khan... political differences apart but Imran Khan is an icon of world cricket and developed Pakistan into a strong unit in his time and gave us a pathway... PCB should delete the video and apologise," Akram had posted on X.
