Former Pakistan batsman Faisal Iqbal took a cheap shot at the national team during the first Test between England and the West Indies in Southampton.
After being set 200 to win, the West Indies found themselves in trouble as they were 27/3, while opener John Campbell had also retired hurt after being struck on the toe by a yorker from England fast bowler Jofra Archer.
Faisal commented that the West Indies’ chances of winning were slowly declining and questioned why their batting collapse reminded him of the Pakistan team.

“West Indies’ hopes are going away… why [are] they reminding me [of the] Pakistan team’s batting collapses?” Faisal said on Twitter.
Pakistan are currently preparing for their series against England, which will get underway next month.
After spending 14 days in isolation in Worcester, the Pakistan team arrived in Derby on Monday.
They will travel to Manchester on August 1 prior to the start of the Test series.
Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests and three T20 Internationals against England, with the first Test starting on August 5 and the T20 series beginning on August 28.
