Zalmi invite cancer patients to watch PSL
dubai — Pakistan Super League’s defending champions Peshawar Zalmi have again invited 13 child cancer patients from Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital to witness the opening ceremony and other Zalmi matches.
Peshawar Zlami carried on the tradition to fly in less privileged kids to watch PSL matches in Dubai.
Peshawar Zlami chairman Javed Afridi has taken this initiative to strengthen the moto of Peshawar Zalmi Foundation — Bring Back Smiles.
“We are proud to host these youngsters. They are our guests and we will make sure that they have a wonderful trip. Everyone at Peshawar Zalmi is very excited with their presence and our players are looking forward to spending time with them. These children are in fact a source of pride and motivation for all of us.”
The child cancer patients enjoyed the dazzling PSL opening ceremony and will be taken around to visit the attractions in the UAE. In the previous edition, Peshawar Zalmi had also invited students from Army Public School Peshawar on a similar trip.
The children and their parents as well are excited about the trip and thanked Javed for making their dream of watching PSL games live in the stadium come true.
While talking to media, one of the excited kids said, “We were over the moon when we got the news that we will tour Dubai and watch Peshawar Zalmi playing. We are thankful to uncle Javed for inviting us and we pray that his team win the trophy again this year. It will be a dream come true to watch the matches live in the stadium and meet our heroes.”
