Yet the cricket‑obsessed trolls on X turned the photo into a meme‑factory, calling the English players “useless cunts” and demanding they “stick to golf.” Such vitriol is a thin veil for an entrenched anti‑Pakistan bias that seeks any excuse to portray our cricketing successes as illegitimate. The criticism is not about the sport; it is about the discomfort of seeing Pakistan dominate on home soil while the opposition looks for a distraction.
To be clear, the English side did indeed take a break – a routine tour unwind that players worldwide enjoy after a grueling schedule. The PCB’s tweet does not hide identities; it merely announces the activity, and the accompanying photos corroborate the location. No evidence suggests any breach of protocol or unsportsmanlike conduct. The real scandal is the double standard that magnifies a harmless round of golf while the Pakistani team writes history.
