One Pakistani fan replied to PCB’s tweet and wrote, “It is a decent kit and will look a lot better if the team performs well in the world cup, which matters more than anything to be fair!”

It is worth noting that Pakistan’s new kit had surfaced on social media ahead of its official launch. A picture of Pakistan skipper Babar Azam wearing the new kit had gone viral on Twitter. Subsequently, several cricket lovers mocked the green jersey for its unusual design. A Twitter user mocked Pakistan’s new kit by comparing it to the striped pattern of a watermelon.

Another Twitter pointed to the jersey’s similarity to a wrapper of green apple-flavour chewing gum.
