Sarfaraz Ahmed To Umar Akmal: 5 Times Pakistani Cricketers Were Trolled For Speaking 'Wrong English'

Pakistan cricket team has delivered some greats of the game in the past. It is also true that some of the funniest moments from press conferences and post-match presentation ceremonies have also come from Pakistani players. Usually, they are funny because of the lack of fluent spoken English. Not to forget, this is no attempt to demean Pakistani players or anyone for not knowing the language. Many great players like Lionel Messi and Rafael Nadal have their issues with the language. However, these are moments that even these Pakistani cricketers will enjoy revisiting again.
