PAK CRICKETERS’ SNAPS REMOVED
The Punjab Cricket Association on Sunday removed the photographs of Pakistani cricketers from various points inside the Mohali stadium as a "humble step" to show solidarity with the families of martyrs of the Pulwama terror attack. The decision was taken at a meeting of the cricket body's office bearers. There were nearly 15 photos of Pakistani cricketers, which were kept inside the stadium at various points, including in the galleries, long room, reception and 'hall of fame' area. The Shahid Afridi-led Pakistani side had faced a 29-run defeat at India's hands in the 2011 World Cup cricket semifinals which was played here in March. Among the cricketers whose photographs have been removed include Prime Minister Imran Khan, Shahid Afridi, Javed Miandad and Wasim Akram.
