Pakistan mocked again in Iceland Crickets hilarious letter to ICC
Iceland Cricket trolls Pakistan over their T20 WC pulllout drama with a hilarious letter addressed to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Iceland cricket is leaving no stone unturned to troll Pakistan. Known for its dry humour, Iceland Cricket has roasted the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) with a couple of hilarious posts on social media, targeting the Pakistan cricket team over their T20 World Cup boycott theatrics.
A day after taking a dig at Pakistan by sharing a hilarious post of being ready to replace Pakistan at the T20 World Cup, the Iceland Cricket were at it again on Thursday with another cheeky post.
In the latest post, Iceland Cricket trolled Pakistan by writing a letter to the ICC, seemingly mocking Pakistan's letter, which they wrote to the global cricket body in support of Bangladesh, who were expelled from the tournament recently.
Iceland Cricket on fire as Pakistan trolled again
In the letter, Iceland Cricket informed the ICC that even if Pakistan boycott the tournament now, they will not be able to replace them as it is too late for them to get their squad ready for the marquee event.
Here's the full content of the hilarious letter:
Dear @ICC,
"It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
"Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
"This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
"Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided. The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association”
Earlier on Thursday, a report claimed that the Pakistan cricket team is all set to fly out to Colombo for World Cup participation despite the fact that the final decision on their participation in the T20 WC is still awaited.
