"Not just today, not just tomorrow, this day will be remembered in Pakistan for years to come,” said a beaming Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed as he made a passionate plea to other nations to play international cricket in their country.
No major cricketing nation has toured Pakistan since the terrorist attack on Sri Lanka team back in 2009.
Sarfraz spoke about the benefits of Pakistan Super League (PSL).
For him, Pakistan cricket has gone through rough times.
It was his day and as if he wanted to make a statement in his own style. Before the press conference began, Pakistan media manager announced that Sarfraz will make a statement.
Sporting a white blazer and a coruscating golden trophy on the table, he looked happier than ever. No one cared for those syntax errors due to language limitations. It sounded endearing as it was a sincere appeal from him.
