Pakistan pacer under fire for slamming politician’s presence at start of closed-doors cricket game

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board has attacked fast bowler Naseem Shah for criticizing a politician’s presence at the start of the opening game of the Pakistan Super League, which is being played behind closed doors. Fans are barred from attending games at the country’s premier domestic tournament, which was originally scheduled for six venues but now reduced to just two — Lahore and Karachi. The Middle East conflict has resulted in exorbitant hikes for fuel in the region, and Pakistan’s government is urging people to restrict travel and to work from home.
