The Men in Green are visiting India for the first time in seven years, having participated in the 2016 T20 World Cup. Given the political tensions between the two countries, only an ICC event can bring the two neighbors together. The Pakistani government maintained that there were still serious concerns about the team’s safety in India due to strict security regulations.
Before the match against Australia, Hasan Ali admitted to the media that the team would not be able to spend time outside due to safety reasons.
“I can’t go out much. “If I want to go out, I have to go with my entire security team.”
“The hospitality is great and we are well looked after, but safety is an issue so we cannot go out and must report to security before going out.” said Hasan Ali.
Yes, We Are Missing Our Fans But That Is Not In Our Hands – Hasan Ali
Hasan Ali has revealed that most of the players are suffering from fever and he feels that the main reason for this is that they spend most of their time indoors in India. He also cheekily claimed that there had been a slight increase in the number of fans cheering him on, but also acknowledged that the drop in fans was not completely under his control.
“The number of fans has increased and the number of journalists is now about 45-47. Yes, we miss our fans, but that is out of our control.”< /strong>Hasan Ali concluded.
It was earlier reported that Pakistan’s players Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Afridi and Osama Mir are suffering from viral infections. The Men in Green want their players to be fully fit ahead of the crucial match against Australia.
