World XI reach safely in Pakistan

Cricketers of World XI have reached in Lahore, Pakistan to feature in 3 T20s against the host. At the end of two days practice camp in Dubai, Faf du Plessis and his co have moved to Lahore for their upcoming assignment.

After reaching to Lahore, the cricketers of World XI have been taken to team hotel under a very strict security.

It can be mentioned, World XI will feature in 3 T20s against the hosts Pakistan on 12, 13, and 15 September. All of the matches will be held at Gaddafi stadium in Lahore. Pakistan Cricket Board alongside it’s fans are very much excited about this tour of World XI. They are optimistic that with this tour, international cricket will again return to Pakistan. SO PCB are doing their best to attract the cricketers of this tour.

To be noted, International Cricket has become uncertain in Pakistan after the brutal incident with visiting Sri Lanka cricket team in 2009. After that, no Test playing teams have made a visit to Pakistan for international cricket except Zimbabwe’s tour to Pakistan.

PCB believes that the environment of Pakistan for international cricket is better now. With the series of World XI, the worth of security system will be proved.
