Special cricketers

Published November 29, 2015

THIS is apropos the article about Pakistan cricket team consisting of special cricketers. The idea was developed by Saleem Karim and supported by Amiruddin Ansari. At first it appeared rather difficult to achieve it.

But where there is a will there is a way. These two legends are now with a physically-challenged cricket team.

We pray for the success of our players who proved their will power after touring Malaysia, Singapore and Dubai. Good luck, Mr Karim. Move on, there are more goals still waiting for you.
