Pakistan captain Babar Azam has shown the special bonding between cricketers and fans through an open letter. In his message, he praised fans for their positive support and urged them to keep cheering the team on.
The Pakistan squad recently arrived in England for a limited-overs series and is at this time in quarantine.
On Sunday, the official Twitter handle of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared Azam’s open letter to fans through a unique video. Making cricket lovers of the nation, Azam said:
“My dear cricket fans, I hope you are doing fine. Players and fans have a very great relationship. They are nothing without each other. This relation is getting stronger with each passing day. Fans are also special for Pakistan’s cricket, who stand by them during good and bad times. They cheer on our win and give us confidence when we lose, this is their identity.”
Azam also praised Pakistanis in the UK, who always come out to support the national team. Stating that the squad missed the presence of the fans the last time they visited the country, the skipper added that the team was looking ahead to seeing supporters in the stands this time around. The Pakistan captain added:
“When we talk about Pakistani people present in the United Kingdom, we can’t express their support in words. After Pakistan, we have the biggest fan base in the UK. Whenever we come to England, cheering fans are there to show their support at the airport and from the hotel to the ground. We have just reached England a few hours ago and are currently undergoing quarantine. But we have started to receive messages on social media from people residing over here. We too are excited, as on our last tour we missed them coming to the ground. This time they will be on the ground to support us.”
