Pakistan’s traditional cream-coloured Test jersey and sweaters became a talking point on social media during the team’s first Test against England at Headingley, with fans questioning the loose and oversized appearance of the sweaters.
The sweaters worn by several Pakistani players appeared particularly large, with loose sleeves and waistlines prompting jokes and criticism from social media users. Some questioned the design and choice of the team’s Test kit.
Fans React to Pakistan’s Test Sweaters
Several users posted humorous comments about the oversized sweaters. One joked that only XXL and XXXL sizes appeared to be available, comparing the look to a clearance sale.
Another user sarcastically suggested that the sweaters may have been bought by someone’s mother and could last for another couple of years.
Other fans questioned the kit supplier and team management, while some described the sweaters as an unsuitable choice for the national team.
