After an unceremonious exit from World T20, some members of the Pakistan cricket team who arrived home early Sunday were given a hostile reception.
In a video posted on social media, Pakistan team members can be seen arriving at the Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore as cricket fans showed their anger on the dismal performance in the mega event.
Men in green were knocked out from the Super 10s round of World T20 on Friday after facing their third consecutive defeat in the tournament.
In the video, team manager Intikhab Alam can be seen coming out of the airport, followed by fast-bowlers Mohammad Irfan, Wahab Riaz, openers Ahmed Shehzad and Mohammad Hafeez, as the crowd booed them with chants of ‘losers, losers,’ and ‘shame, shame’.
Meanwhile, Pakistan T20I captain Shahid Afridi has delayed his arrival for a few days and have opted to stay in Dubai.
Earlier, there were also reports that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have already decided to dismiss coach Waqar Younis, captain Afridi, team manager Intikhab Alam and chief-selector Haroon Rasheed after a dismal Asia Cup and World T20, where the Men in Green only managed to win three out of eight matches.
