 T20 World Cup Diary: India, Pakistan Matches and Preparations in Melbourne

What are the political conditions of Pakistan saying?Imagine you have the T20 World Cup on your mind and you don't want to talk about any other topic but someone suddenly starts talking to you about politics.The same thing happened to me when I stepped out of Melbourne Airport after a grueling 16-hour journey via two flights.Despite the dominance of fatigue and sleep, the mind was still thinking about the T20 World Cup, but the driver of the taxi I took from the airport to the hotel, Saeed Sahib, turned out to be a resident of Rawalpindi, and then he broached the same topic as from the country. What do expatriate Pakistanis often do when they meet: That is, where is Pakistan's political situation going? What do you think will happen?Sir, I know only one thing that whoever the politician is, he is not sincere to Pakistan. My brother and sister live in Pakistan, but now I don't want to go there. If you stay in Australia and hear about Pakistan, then the frustration increases. Saeed Sahib himself said seeing my lack of interest in politics.

After arriving in Melbourne, I headed to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the World Cup accreditation card, and a strange silence surrounded the ground.On all sides of the ground, statues of players who have played a significant role in Australian sporting history attract attention. Among them is the great Sir Don Bradman.In a quiet environment, commotion was seen only in the ICC media center outside the ground where journalists had come to collect their cards. I was thinking that it is only two or three days, then how is this silence? On Sunday, these empty gates will present a completely different scene.The T20 World Cup has started but the world is eagerly waiting for October 23.

Come on Balma.'
