Despite getting honoured by PCB, Kamran Akmal trolled on social media

.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) honoured some of their remarkable cricketers at the PCB Awards on Wednesday for their spectacular performance on the field.

While a plethora of cricketers received awards across different categories, Kamran Akmal’s receiving the best wicket-keeper award in the domestic cricket has turned him into a butt of many jokes on Twitter.

Recently, Akmal’s performance behind the stumps remained. Some called him ‘Butterfingers’ while some called him as the worst ‘wicket-keeper.’

Here’re some of the reactions:

Best WK kamran akmal? So it means we have no pool of WK in domestic cricket? unlucky Pak.
