ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hosted a dinner for the visiting South African cricket team and the Pakistan squad on Saturday, saying the ongoing cricket exchanges between the two countries symbolized their strong bilateral ties and mutual respect. The remarks came after the conclusion of the two-Test series between Pakistan and South Africa, which ended 1-1. Pakistan won the first Test in Lahore by 93 runs, while South Africa levelled the series with an eight-wicket victory in Rawalpindi earlier this week.
