Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza thanks Pakistan, says team will “InshaAllah return again”

Sikandar Raza said the affection shown to the team during their stay was overwhelming, and they were all deeply grateful. “We will, InshaAllah, come back again,” he added.

It is noteworthy that the Zimbabwe team visited Pakistan to participate in the tri-nation series alongside Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Initially, Afghanistan was part of the tri-series lineup. However, under India’s influence, the Afghanistan Cricket Board withdrew, citing political tensions as the reason.

Following Afghanistan’s withdrawal, the PCB contacted Zimbabwe and invited them to take part in the series.

The Zimbabwe Cricket Board accepted the invitation without hesitation and finalized all arrangements for the Pakistan tour within a very short time.
