Lahore Qalandars opening batsman turned his mobile phone off to avoid fans’ request for free PSL 7 final tickets.
Lahore Qalandars will take on defending champions Multan Sultans on Sunday. Fakhar Zaman, in a tweet, asked the Pakistan Super League management if free passes were available for the all-important game.
“Hi PSL T20, any tickets for tomorrow’s game? Please 🙏” he asked.
He continued: “BTW, my phone is turned off for obvious reasons. You can reach out to me on my hotel phone. 🙌”
