Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf enjoy his 29th birthday in Australia with his team member earlier today. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) uploaded a video clip of him amid the party on their official Twitter handle.
Matthew Hayden, the Pakistani team’s coach for the T20 World Cup 2022 was stained hugging the Rawalpindi natural in the video, as did Mohammad Haris and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
In a fun time of events, Shadab Khan and Shaheen Shah Afridi pranked the Pakistan speedster by deciding to cut the birthday cake themselves with him yelling “Meri Hai! (it’s mine)” in the background.
Haris Rauf was ultimately able to cut his cake with Asif Ali, Wasim Jnr, Shahnawaz Dahani, Naseem Shah, and the additional singing Happy Birthday. His teammates, as well as Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, and Rumman Raees, also yearned for the cricketer on Twitter.

Pakistan will expect Haris Rauf to deliver when they lock horns against New Zealand in the primary semi-final
It was a dual celebration for Pakistan, who made it to the semi-finals of the exhibit event despite being on the verge of a previous exit.
Pakistan made a back-door entering into the semifinals after the Babar Azam-led side, following 2 painfully close losses to India and Zimbabwe, was around on their way back home.

The comeback, which included a victory over the Netherlands and South Africa, left them in competition for the semifinals. Although, they were still conditional on other results. The early morning match on Sunday between the Netherlands and South Africa was impersonal in deciding their fate.
The Dutch side troubles the Proteas, giving Pakistan salvation, which they capitalized on by beating Bangladesh by 5 wickets in a virtual quarterfinal in Adelaide.
Especially, Pakistan and New Zealand will meet in the initial semi-final of the World Cup in Sydney on November 9 (Wednesday).
