New Delhi, June 21: Pakistan cricket team is going through some real tough time in international cricket and their humiliating defeat against arch-rivals India in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 only made the matters worse for the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side.

The Men In Green are facing backlash for their poor performances on the field as well as for their actions off the field. Their meek surrender against India in the much-hyped contest - which turned out to be a rather one-sided match - at Old Trafford irked millions of Pakistan cricket fans all over the world to question professionalism of the Champions Trophy 2017 winning side.

Having realised his mistake that could court another controversy, the speedster deleted his tweet but the damage had already been done.

The winners of 1992, Pakistan have registered just one win in games and are placed ninth in the 10-team table. The Men in Green will face a struggling South African side on Sunday at Lord's and would be hoping to come to winning ways.
