It seems like Pakistan wants to make the things look unique in the bilateral series against New Zealand. Of late, they are coming with unique names to their trophies while hosting an international team in the bilateral series. Recently, their biscuit trophy had made the headlines and had been the talk of the town. Now, they unveiled the Oye-Hoye cup for Test series against the Kiwis.

Welcome the ‘Oye-Hoye’ trophy!

Meanwhile, Sarfraz Ahmed and Kane Williamson posed for the cameras, but what caught the attention was the rather innovative ‘Oye Hoye Cup’.

Recently, they got trolled for putting Biscuit on the trophy, and now, they replaced with a word Oye-Hoye, which is an often used word to cheer the effort of a certain cricketer.

The tweet from the PCB panel read ”Brighto presents Oye Hoye Cup 2018 #PakvsNZ Test series trophy unveiling ceremony at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi.” They already received numerous comments for the unique name.
