The journey of Pakistan Disabled Cricket continues today (Part 15)

While all the players and officials celebrated the arrival of Pakistan Disabled Cricket Team in the final of the tri-nation cricket tournament, the Pakistani media also highlighted the success of the National Disabled Cricket Team. The disabled team was well received in print and electronic media. News of the national team’s performance from England was constantly being sent to Pakistan as well as photos of the match and players were being sent, all the players and officials of the national team who were the first to work after waking up in the morning. He had to watch his news on Pakistani newspapers and national channels on the internet and then comment on this news and published pictures throughout the day. Muhammad Nizam, who was with the National Disabled Cricket Team, was doing his duty well

During this tour of England, the national disabled cricket team was housed at the University of Worcestershire, which was a great honor in itself. Worcestershire University is one of the oldest universities in the world and its hostel is a masterpiece of beautiful and ancient architecture. The hosts had arranged a separate room for each player of the Pakistan Disabled Cricket Team and had also given them VIP status. The quality of their hosting was so high that they were paying individual attention to each player. “I have no words to describe their hospitality and their manners and manners in this regard.” A senior PDCA official said enthusiastically. “Pakistan’s disabled cricket team players and officials get the same protocol that any country’s cricket team gets, and this still gives me a wonderful sense of dedication. Only those who have enjoyed this type of hospitality in England can feel it. “

A match of the tournament was also played at Worcestershire County’s home ground, the same ground where the current Prime Minister of Pakistan and captain of the 1992 World Cup winning team, Imran Khan, also played full cricket for the county. There were many pictures of Imran Khan in the dressing room of this ground, which kept the disabled cricketers excited and made them think that we are playing a match on a historical ground which we have mentioned. In the years to come we will be able to tell our grandchildren that we have played cricket in the field of England where a great cricketer like Imran Khan has played and that we have played in the historic University of England as well as many others in Worcestershire County. He has also looked after the ancient buildings and enjoyed their hospitality.

The locals also told the national disabled cricketers a lot about Imran Khan and other Pakistani cricketers during the Worcestershire match. This not only increased their knowledge but also raised their morale. A few matches of this tournament were held on the grounds of Westminster Club. Interestingly, Imran Khan has also played cricket with this well-known club. At the same historic ground in Worcestershire, the players of the Pakistan Disabled Cricket Team had the opportunity to walk around the ground in front of thousands of spectators. It was a great honor for disabled cricketers from rural and remote areas of Pakistan.

While touring the grounds, many disabled Pakistani cricketers began to weep with joy as they held on to their inner joy, sense of pride and soaring of the green crescent flag of Pakistan as well as further enhancing its dignity and respect. But along with the tears, a heartfelt smile kept dancing. At the time, these tears of joy were even more precious and rare than the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which was in a British museum. The fact is that the sense of representation of one’s country is not diminished when a player gets a chance to walk around the ground by hoisting the flag of his country. Many nationally disabled cricketers took pictures of this memorable occasion and proudly sent their loved ones to Pakistan. (to be continued )
