Pakistan Cricket Board Tags Women Cricketers in Pictures of Travel Bags; Results in Meme Fest on Twitter

“Where are the women?” is what is being asked by hundreds of Twitter users after the Pakistan Cricket Board shared a post to wish their women cricketers who are travelling to Karachi for participating in a domestic tournament. The problem is that the women are missing in the picture. In fact, it’s just bags lying in a room. People cannot help but wonder if the women are packed inside those bags.

Another user suggested that this is just a way of cost-cutting as luggage charges are lesser than actual tickets.

Here’s one honest and straight forward response to PCB’s post. The person writes, “Wouldn’t it be nice to see actual pics of the players then kit bags. Seriously, your PR dept needs a lot of work!” The user has got a point.
