The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has spoken strongly against the derogatory statements that were issued against the players. The PCB was not at all pleased with the foreign fans insulting their players.

"When anti-Pakistan slogans emerged, cricketer Khushdil Shah stepped in and urged the spectators to refrain. In response, Afghan spectators escalated the situation by using further inappropriate language in Pashto. Following the Pakistani team's complaint, stadium officials intervened and ejected the two disruptive spectators," the statement added.
