The Pakistan cricket team’s preparations have been thrown off by the inclement weather, as they will be unable to attend the wedding celebration of their teammate, Haris Rauf, in Rawalpindi. Prioritizing the players’ safety and well-being, the team management has decided to limit their movement due to adverse weather conditions and the prospect of rain following the arrival of monsoon rains in the country.
The players were supposed to fly from Karachi to Rawalpindi today, returning the next day before travelling for the Test series against Sri Lanka. However, due to the possible hazards linked with bad weather, team management has decided to keep the players from travelling.
Despite their physical absence, the entire sent has shared their sincere greetings for Haris Rauf on social media, letting him know they are thinking of him on his special day.
