The official Facebook page of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made a big blunder in its recent promotional post for the upcoming Test series between Pakistan and Australia.
The first match of the historic Test series would be played at the Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. However, the PCB’s Facebook page titled “Pakistan Cricket Team” showed the picture of India’s Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi, in the background of a post teasing ticket prices for the forthcoming Test series.
The blunder has left cricket fans fuming, as many have even questioned the professionalism of PCB’s social media team.
Take a look at the picture:
In case you are unable to identify the mistake here, let us simplify it for you:
This comparison shows that the image used in the background of PCB’s post is the front view of Delhi’s Firoz Shah Kotla Stadium.
Here’s the picture of Pindi Cricket Stadium where the first Test will be played:
Although Pindi Cricket Stadium also looks slightly similar, the poster looks to have made use of Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.
Note here that the Australian team will arrive in Pakistan in the wee hours of Sunday, 27 February for Three Tests, as many ODIs, and a one-off T20I. The three Tests would be played in Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Lahore, while all white-ball games will be played in Rawalpindi.

That is what happens when you hire so called Graphic designers who have no idea what they want to achieve in life… It’s الہ out making money and getting the day over with
Come on guys… just to make a news you guys are writing anything? Please zoom the real poster and then compare that is it same stadium you are claiming or different. Grow up guys and show some maturity.
Simply idiotic post. The picture is of pindi and is correct.
There is a conspiracy off course, you can see clearly it’s pindi cricket stadium graphics in Back ground just zoom it. In another picture portrayed as Delhi stadium graphics. Just open the eyes 1st and compare both the images.
There is no blunder of PCB look at the Pindi stadium and poster background image same 100%.
The writer of this blog should be the shame of this misguidance and comparsion with totally different images!!!
It’s game news. In one of the pics the slingshot is Mutual Steel which is a PAKISTANI brand.
Please people don’t make a fuss of it. It is just a sketch. N it is not even looking like the Indian stadium. A rough sketch of an ordinary looking common playground. PCB IS NO MORE A KID RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE ARE TAKING CARE OF ALL THE MATTERS. DON’T EXAGERATE….
Highly stupid of you! The background pic is of pindi stadium unless you are a myopic bloddy Indian😡
Stupid news. I hope PCS legal team should take action against your website for making false claims and defaming the country

This reflects the entire government officials method of selection for appointments in every departments where the only criteria is “purchi” recommendation rather than merit. The powerful the recommender the chances of appointment is brighter. Hence, no surprise. We Pakistanis now only get surprised when a luckiest amongst 220M is chosen on merit.
What nonsense. Couldn’t find something better to get some internet traffic for yourself??
Such an idiotic post..mr rizvi you should be fired.
PCB has no brain and even don’t know enemies if Pakistan also forgotten the Indian involvement in sabotaging Newziland trip of Pakistan. Blank heads
That’s why there should be control and punishment on fake news reporting
Shame on you.
You idiots, second image with Kotla stadium you shared is clearly photoshoped, the original poster has the Pindi stadium in the background.
You are a disgrace.
I agree. People should be careful and focus on other major issues
Don’t get too low to be famous on social media. Don’t spread fake news without any official or clear confirmation. Some people always try to dishonour their own country.
Its clearly a Rawalpindi stadium. Please be a gentleman.
Watch with open 👀…..Please zoom the real poster and then compare that is it same stadium you are claiming or different. Grow up guys and show some maturity
