Zainab Abbas and Aamir Sohail are facing heavy criticism on social media following a controversial incident during the Multan Test match.
The situation unfolded when Zainab, who was serving as a presenter, shared an image on Instagram that featured her alongside former English captain Nasser Hussain and Aamir Sohail.
In the photo, Nasser Hussain is seen holding his own umbrella under the intense sun, while Zainab Abbas and Aamir Sohail appear to have a ground staff member hold their umbrella for them.
This display has drawn ire from users online, who are condemning the duo for what many perceive as an abuse of privilege.
Critics have taken to social media, with some suggesting that individuals in positions of power often exploit their status for personal gain. One user remarked, “People in power enjoy taking advantage of protocol; this has become a bitter truth in our society.”
While Zainab Abbas and Aamir Sohail faced trolling, many social media users praised Hussain for his humility and dedication to the sport.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about elitism in sports commentary and media roles, reflecting ongoing societal issues regarding privilege in Pakistan.
