Mohammad Amir slams Ramiz Raja’s disrespectful remarks on Shan Masood after Pakistan’s Test series win over England

It was Pakistan’s first home Test series win since early 2021, and it was the moment for the entire Pakistan to celebrate, but the former PCB chairman decided a different angle to attack Shan Masood on live television.

Instead of celebrating the thrilling Test series win, Ramiz Ramiz mocked Masood for his past captaincy record by questioning Pakistan’s prior six-Test losing streak. He also launched some sarcastic questions, leaving fans, former players, and even fellow commentators shocked.

Among those criticizing the former Pakistan captain was the left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir, who openly criticized Raja’s behavior on the live TV. He expressed disappointment over the former PCB chairman’s lack of acknowledgment of Masood’s pivotal role in leading Pakistan to a comeback win.

Mohammad Amir did not hold back in his criticism, saying Ramiz Raja’s focus should have been on congratulating Masood and discussing the team’s upcoming plans rather than bringing up past losses.

Amir highlighted how Raja’s remarks detracted from the Test series win, which held massive significance for Pakistan, as it was their first home Test series win since early 2021.

Ramiz Raja has no idea what to ask a winning captain: Mohammad Amir

Amir slammed Raja for making fun of the Test series winnings captain Masood, saying the former Pakistan captain is a well-educated person, but he did stupidity on live TV. He said that when it was time to celebrate, Raja should not have dug up old graves by asking about past records.

Mohammad Amir said in a viral video on social media: “You should celebrate the series win. There is a series-winning captain sitting next to you. You should have asked him about the win and his next plans. But you are making fun of him. Have some respect. You are literate people, and you should behave like one as well.

Where the credit is due, you should give it. I was feeling so bad for Shan. Ramiz has been doing on-air duties for so long now, and he has no idea what to ask a winning captain.”

Here's Amir's reaction to Raja's stupidity:

As a result, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly considering Ramiz’s removal from the commentary panel for the upcoming white-ball series against Australia. And even Amir, in the viral video, mentioned that the PCB would be taking action against the commentator.

Notably, before winning the Test series against England, Pakistan had lost Test series against Australia, England, and Bangladesh at home, while a series against New Zealand had ended in a 0-0 draw. It was Pakistan's first series win over England since 2015.
