Returning home with a boom!
Pakistan won the Twenty20 World Cup with an eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka at Lord’s, London, on Sunday. The hundreds of fans were later left disappointed in the early hours of Tuesday after security officials bypassed the well wishers and whisked the squad away from another terminal. However, a few of the team members met with their fans and we’re given a hearty welcome.
