Awards are presented to people to give recognition to their achievements that they have acquired over their lifetime. However, it can turn into a controversial situation when the right award is presented to a wrong person. Apparently, a similar situation happened during the award ceremony of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that recently took place in Karachi where cricketers were honored for their achievements in domestic and international cricket in the 2017-18 season.
PCB presented the left-handed batsman Fakhar Zaman with the special award for his outstanding performance in the international cricket. He recently became the first Pakistani cricketer to score a double century in the One Day International Cricket. Moreover, Pakistan’s captain, Sarfraz Ahmed was presented with the Imtiaz Ahmed Spirit Award by PCB and a cash prize of PKR 1 million.
But what took the social media by surprise was the award presented to cricketer Kamran Akmal by the PCB. Apparently, Pakistan’s Akmal brothers – Kamran and Umar have been quite popular on the social media and unfortunately not for the right reasons. Kamran has a long history of being mocked by the netizens for his ridiculous public statements.
Incidentally, Kamran Akmal became the butt of jokes yet again when the PCB awarded him with the ‘Best Wicket-keeper Award’ in the domestic cricket. By winning this award, Kamran Akmal has left the netizens in splits.

Indeed it is not right!
Something not right – either with our cricket breeding grounds or the awards selection process – if in 2018 Kamran Akmal is still keeper of the year. https://t.co/6g42UK7yQt

Now that’s the question!
#KamranAkmal bags best #wicketkeeper at the annual #PCBAwards for taking 54 catches, but tell me one thing how many catches did he drop 🤔😛
