Pakistan U-19 cricketers confronted by protesters who mistook them for migrants

Pakistan's Under-19 cricket team was mistakenly targeted by protesters in Portsmouth, England, after locals reported seeing around 40 non-English-speaking men arrive at a Marriott hotel. A crowd gathered outside the hotel, having assumed the group were asylum seekers rather than visiting athletes. The situation grew tense before the misunderstanding was clarified. The incident highlights rising tensions in parts of the UK around immigration and the vulnerability of foreign visitors to such confrontations.
