PCB makes major goof up in NSK honours boards

A major mistake was spotted in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s newly-placed honours boards at the National Stadium in Karachi.

According to details, former Australian cricketer David Boon, who was also appointed as the match referee for limited-overs matches during Sri Lanka’s ongoing tour of Pakistan, was mentioned as a New Zealand cricketer on the National Stadium’s honours boards.

Boon was among the list of players who scored a Test century at the stadium, after his 114-run unbeaten knock against Pakistan in September 1994.
