Sri Lankan cricket’s solidarity gesture has drawn an emotional response from Pakistan’s national players, who released a video on Thursday expressing heartfelt gratitude to the Sri Lanka team and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for continuing the ODI series in Rawalpindi despite security concerns.
In the video message, several Pakistan players thanked the Sri Lankan squad for remaining in the country after Tuesday’s explosion in Islamabad and urged local fans to fill the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in support of both teams during the remaining matches. (Newswire)
