Lahore (MediaBites)– A recent image featuring Pakistani commentators Aamir Sohail and Zainab Abbas alongside former English cricketer and commentator Nasser Hussain has sparked a heated debate on social media. The picture, taken during the ongoing Test series between Pakistan and England, shows Nasser Hussain holding an umbrella to shield himself from the scorching sun, while local helpers are seen carrying umbrellas for Aamir Sohail and Zainab Abbas.
This snapshot has drawn sharp criticism from social media users, who were quick to express their disapproval of the Pakistani commentators. Many pointed out the contrasting behavior, commending Nasser Hussain for his self-reliance and humility, while questioning why the Pakistani commentators did not follow suit.
“Why couldn’t Amir Sohail and Zainab Abbas hold their own umbrellas like Nasser Hussain? It’s disappointing to see them being treated this way,” one user commented. Another wrote, “Nasser Hussain setting an example of dignity, while our own commentators appear out of touch with such values.”
The criticism isn’t limited to just a few comments. Several users shared the picture with captions praising Hussain’s grounded appearance, while others called the situation a stark reminder of the disparities in professionalism. Many Pakistani cricket fans expressed their disappointment, urging their own commentators to show more modesty and independence, especially in an international setting.
This incident has opened a broader discussion on the conduct and image of sports professionals, and it will be interesting to see how the Pakistani commentators respond to this wave of backlash.
