Another day, another embarrassment for Pakistan cricket. A viral video shows a fan casually bypassing multiple security layers and walking straight into the pavilion area to meet Babar Azam. Reportedly this occurred during the Lahore Test against South Africa, where Pakistan ended the Proteas’ 10-match winning streak. This isn’t the first time. Similar incidents have rocked PSL games and national fixtures before. So, what drives fans to cross the line, and why does Pakistan continue to fail despite tall claims of “world-class infrastructure”? Rupha Ramani breaks down Pakistan’s chronic security lapses, the PCB’s repeated negligence, and what this means for the future of international cricket in the country.
