The newly announced Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise name “PINDIZ” for Rawalpindi ahead of PSL 11 has sparked significant backlash on social media. Many Pakistani cricket fans have criticized the name as awkward and are calling for a rethink.
Users on X/Twitter have flooded the platform with memes and critiques, arguing that the name lacks a connection to the city’s identity and traditions, turning the launch into a trending online debate.
Despite the criticism over branding, the Rawalpindi franchise, backed by Walee Technologies, remains focused on preparations for the January-March season, with the logo reveal set to follow soon.
