PM Shehbaz Hosts Luncheon to Honour T20I Tri-Series Stars

On Wednesday, the focus moved from the pitch to the dining hall at the Prime Minister House. PM Shehbaz Sharif hosted a special lunch for the men’s cricket teams of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe taking part in the T20I tri-series.

The hall was filled with senior officials and cricket stars. CM Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, PCB Chairman and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, and several federal ministers joined the event. Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner Rear Admiral Fred Seneviratne and Zimbabwe’s High Commissioner Titus Abu Basuto also attended.

PM Shehbaz praised all three teams for their hard work. He said they played with heart and represented their nations well. His remarks turned the lunch into a warm celebration of respect and sports spirit.

He also appreciated the PCB, led by Mohsin Naqvi, for managing the series with strong planning and smooth coordination. He said the well-run matches showed Pakistan’s stability and its readiness to host major events.

He hoped the series would set an example of fair play and respect. His words carried meaning. Cricket here brings people together. It motivates young players and strengthens ties between nations.

Fans have plenty to look forward to as the series continues until November 29. They will see top action and moments that may shape cricket history.

By the end of lunch, one thing stood out. Cricket here goes far beyond winning or losing. It brings people closer, shows respect, and celebrates the human spirit. With leaders like PM Shehbaz cheering on, the series highlights both talent and unity.
