Lahore (Pakistan News Online) Pakistan’s journey in the T20 World Cup was extremely disappointing, ending with the team returning home after the first stage.
However, you might be surprised to know that the group accompanying the players and support staff included 26 to 28 people, consisting of the cricketers’ wives, children, and family members.
In a report, private TV channel Geo News claimed that, surprisingly, fast bowler Mohammad Amir was in the United States with a personal trainer.
Despite the presence of the Pakistan team’s foreign trainer, Mohammad Amir trained with his personal trainer, who was based in Ireland and England.
Mohammad Amir had obtained special permission from the PCB for this arrangement, and while he covered the trainer’s expenses himself, the arrangements were made by the PCB.
Mohammad Amir, who bowled the 18-run super over in the match against the USA, had come out of retirement to join the team but did not train with the team, which was an unusual situation where a player trained separately with a personal trainer.
Apart from Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, and Wahab Riaz traveled with their wives and children.
During the World Cup, captain Babar Azam’s parents and brother, and the wives of Imad Wasim and Haris Rauf were also with the team.
Parties and dinners continued after the matches, and amidst this revelry, Pakistan’s journey ended in the first round.
