Pakistan cricket correspondent and television host Dr Nauman Niaz believes that if the poorly selected Pakistan team wins the triangular tournament, then the rest of the international teams should drink poison and die.

 

During a live stream on the YouTube channel Caught Behind on Wednesday, Dr Nauman and former wicketkeeper-batsman Rashid Latif discussed Pakistan's win over South Africa in the tri-nation series.

 

 

Nauman said, "This combination has been selected in such a way that it includes crippled, limping, broken, useless players—an unfairly selected Pakistan team, full of intellectual dishonesty. If this team wins—if this wins—people are criticizing, but they are not calling it pathetic, which is wrong."

 

"I did not call the team pathetic, and I will never say that, ever. I said it was selected in a pathetic manner, in an unfair way," he clarified.

 

He further stated, "If this poorly selected team wins the triangular tournament, then the rest of the international teams should just poison themselves and die. They should not play the Champions Trophy and should just go home."

 

It is worth mentioning that Pakistan outclassed South Africa in the third ODI of the tri-series in Karachi.

 

Batting first, South Africa scored 352 runs, losing five wickets.

 

In response, Pakistan chased down the target in the 49th over, losing just four wickets.

 

Captain Mohammad Rizwan and vice-captain Salman Ali Agha played outstanding unbeaten centuries, guiding their team to a remarkable win.
