The Pakistan cricket team is no stranger to controversy, both on and off the field.
Recently, just before they commenced their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, the team reportedly hosted a private dinner party for fans in the USA. This event, billed as a 'meet and greet' with star Pakistan players, came with a price tag of 25 US dollars for each fan, which has sparked outrage within the Pakistan cricket community.

"There are official dinners, but this is a private dinner. Who can do this? It's terrible. That means you met our players for 25 dollars. God forbid, had there been a mess, people would have said boys are earning money," Latif stated in the video.
Pakistan begin their T20 World Cup campaign on 6 June against the co-hosts USA.
