The Pakistan Cricket Board have often been the butt of many jokes due to their often ludicrous decisions as well as the internal politics which has left the state of cricket in the country in a mess many times. The board have now again make a decision which has seen them become the target of Twitter trolls from all around the globe in what could be called a decision which is brave and stupid in equal measure.
For Pakistan’s Test series against New Zealand in the UAE, the board in all its fine wisdom has decided to name the trophy which will be presented to the winners as the ‘Oye Hoye’ Cup. What is even more baffling is that the trophy which has been designed has ‘Oye Hoye’ inscribed over it.
Here is the tweet by the Pakistan Cricket Board which has been the subject of great derision and mockery:

Kane is supposed to sing these lines from Oye Hoye to win the cup:
Tera roop hi-fi main hoon naughty boy
full night karenge enjoy
lawman pehan main lagoon good looking
chal ik dooje mein kho jaayein.(Translation in the next tweet)

Another blunder in what is already a long list by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
