Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja has come under severe criticism for his absurd questions to Pakistan Test skipper Shan Masood on live television after the team's series win over England at home.

Pakistan pulled off a superb come-from-behind 2-1 series win after registering a commanding nine-wicket victory over England in the decisive third Test at Rawalpindi.

However, Ramiz was seen taunting Masood after the game as he, instead of talking about series win, asked the captain: "Aapne 6 losses in a row kaise achieve kiya?" (How did you achieve six losses in a row?).

Furthermore, there were also a few other shots fired by Ramiz at Masood during the post-match interview.

Ramiz's behaviour didn’t go down well with the fans and former cricketers as he faced backlash for his taunts. Left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir too joined the bandwagon and slammed the cricketer-turned-commentator for his post-match remarks.

"You should celebrate the series win. There is a series winning captain sitting next to you. You should have asked him about the win, next plans. But you are making fun of him. Have some respect. You are literate people and you should behave like one as well (Padhe likhon wali harkaten kiya karen). Where the credit is due, you should give it. I was feeling so bad for Shan. Ramiz has been doing on-air duties for so long now and he has no idea what to ask a winning captain," said Amir in a video posted on X.

Here's the clip:

With this triumph, Pakistan ended a long-standing drought of losing a Test series at home. Their last victory had come against South Africa in early 2021.

Sajid Khan and Noman Ali played a key role in Pakistan’s comeback after an innings defeat in the opening Test at Multan. The spin twin took all 20 wickets in the second Test, while they picked up 19 of England's 20 wickets in the third Test.
