Pakistan’s men’s and women’s cricket stars conveyed their heartfelt wishes to the nation on Eid ul Fitr, a holy festival celebrated by Muslims across the world with devotion, gratitude and togetherness.
In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on its social media, members of the men’s national cricket team, including ODI and T20I captains Shaheen Shah Afridi and Salman Ali Agha respectively, shared special messages for fans.
“[…] On behalf of the Pakistan cricket team, I wish you all a very happy Eid. Take care of yourself and celebrate Eid with your friends and family,” Shaheen said.
