RAWALPINDI: Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director-General Major-General Asif Ghafoor on Sunday said that the successful conclusion of the third match in the Pak-Sri Lanka T20 International series was the result of the nation’s sacrifices.
“The nation’s sacrifices won today!” Asif Ghafoor tweeted, as he thanked the Sri Lankan cricket team for visiting Pakistan.
Nation’s sacrifices won today!
Thanks Sri Lanka, well played Team Pakistan. Great job by PCB and security apparatus.
??Peaceful Pakistan!— Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor (@OfficialDGISPR) October 29, 2017
The ISPR director general congratulated the Pakistan cricket team and praised the efforts of the Pakistan Cricket Board and law enforcement agencies in ensuring the safety of the visiting team.
The occasion marks the homecoming of top-level international cricket as Sri Lanka become the first major cricket team to visit Pakistan since they were targeted in a deadly ambush in 2009 — with attack survivors among those returning to the scene.
