So living in a nation which is inspired by the game of cricket brings in us a constant feeling of watching our team do well in all major completions and even though that is not the case every time, we as Pakistanis, are always hopeful that the right outcome weighs in at Pakistan’s side. Cricket is a game which is the most famous in this particular region of the world and we have seen some amazing legends of the game come and go and along the way we have seen some amazing cricket all round. Even though every team other than Pakistan is considered as a competitor, we as a cricketing nation have learnt to respect any and every team that plays good cricket, even if that team has to be our fierce rivals India.
Moreover, the mega event is scheduled to begin on the 30th of May and we are bound to see some of the best cricketers in the world go against each other to bring glory to there respective nations. Only one team will lift the trophy, but along the way to the final we are bound to see some amazing players and cricketers play it out to their fullest potential. We will see some amazing cricketers and in those amazing cricketers are players who will be seeing for the last time in action for there respective countries, legends of the game who are set to play there last tournament.
