In one of the episodes of The Pavillion, numerous ex-cricketers from Pakistan were seen debating the distinctive tactics used by the Scottish players, who were frequently seen consulting a piece of paper before carrying out a plan. Waqar Younis added, “It is probable that they have an issue with Alzheimer’s or dementia,” when speaking about the same.

Wasim Akram quickly followed up with a racial remark by stating, “We cannot see Pooran. How will we see his name on the back of a t-shirt.” These words were not well received by internet users, who immediately criticised the two former Pakistani fast bowlers for their crude remarks.
Scotland Stun West Indies
In a T20 World Cup Group B match on Monday that was postponed due to rain, Scotland stunned two-time winners West Indies by 42 runs. Scotland, which was given the opportunity to bat, amassed a formidable 160 for five off the back of opener George Munsey’s brilliant unbeaten 66 off 53 balls, which was peppered with nine fours.

The most successful team in the T20 World Cup, the West Indies, suddenly looked like a shell of their former selves and crumbled for 118 runs in 18.3 overs as the Scots skillfully defended the score.
In order to still be in the running for the Super 12 stage, West Indies must defeat Zimbabwe in their upcoming encounter on Wednesday. However, to advance to the Super 12 stage, the Richie Berrington-led team must defeat European rivals Ireland.
