Pakistan’s men’s and women’s cricket stars conveyed heartfelt Eid ul Fitr wishes to the nation, a holy festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide with devotion, gratitude and unity.
In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on its social media, members of the national men’s cricket team, including ODI and T20I captains Shaheen Shah Afridi and Salman Ali Agha respectively, shared special messages for the fans.
“[…] On behalf of 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.
Besides them, several national cricketers including Mohammad Rizwan, Haris Rauf, Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Faheem Ashraf, along with youngsters Saad Masood, Abdul Samad, Shamyl Hussain and Maaz Sadaqat sent their Eid wishes.
In a separate video shared by the cricket board on social media, Pakistan women’s cricketers including Sidra Amin, Muneeba Ali, Nashra Sandhu and Tuba Hassan also sent a hearty Eid greeting to the nation.
The women’s cricket team is currently enjoying a short break, with their next international assignment scheduled for May – a T20I tri-series against the West Indies and hosts Ireland, in preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup, which is set to run from June 12 to July 5.
The national men’s cricketers, on the other hand, are turning up for the much-awaited Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 scheduled to be played from March 26 to May 3.
The historic 11th edition of the marquee league will see eight teams, including two new entrants, RawalPindiz and Hyderabad Kingsmen, competing across 44 matches from March 26 to May 3.
PSL 11 will get underway with defending champions Lahore Qalandars locking horns with Hyderabad Houston Kingsmen at their home ground on March 26.
