After 'Biscuit' Trophy, PCB now unveils the 'Oye Hoye Cup'
What's the story
Last month, the Pakistan Cricket Board was ridiculed by fans for the 'Biscuit' Trophy and it seems the board didn't learn anything.
The Biscuit Trophy was presented for the T20I series against Australia, which Pakistan won 3-0.
And now the board has gone on to unveil the 'Oye Hoye Cup' for the Test series against New Zealand.

Biscuit Trophy
Last month Sarfraz and Finch had unveiled the Biscuit Trophy
Australia and Pakistan skippers Aaron Finch and Sarfraz Ahmed were seen unveiling the Biscuit Trophy, last month.
The trophy had a pair of stumps, a golden ball and a gigantic biscuit at the crown. It was one of the weirdest looking trophies.
Even the ICC trolled the Pakistan board for the choice of design and 'shamelessly' promoting the sponsors.
