Meanwhile, Lions’ skipper Babar Waseem Gujjar said his raiders particularly Shafiq Chishti and Akmal Shahzad Dogar exhibited excellent skills during their match against India’s Punjab Thunders team.

The Lions, however, lost to Khalsa Worriors.

Meanwhile, Sports Board Punjab director general Usman Anwar was elected to the WKL executive body, according to a spokesman of the Board.
