“In fact some journals on agenda attack players on city basis which has damaged Pakan Cricket alot. We are living with a tribal mindset.”
Raza showered Babar for not losing his cool with the questions he has been asked in the press conference.
“Babar is a mature captain with a good temperament who handles his anger very well. Pakan Cricket Team is loosing and people passing comments is unbearable.
