Pakistani squad gets praised by General Qamar Javed Bajwa – ‘Made the country proud by leaving the multi-billion dollar teams behind’. In the title game of the T20 World Cup 2022, England beat Pakistan.
Unfortunately, Pakistan reached the T20 World Cup 2022 final, where they fell to England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

In contrast, a determined Pakistani team gave everything it had in the remaining games to advance to the championship game. General Qamar Javed Bajwa, the outgoing Chief of Army Staff (COAS) of Pakistan, met the players at a reception held by the Pakistan Cricket Board and praised them for their “fighting spirit.”
Also present at the conference was President Dr. Arif Alvi, who highlighted Pakistan.
“lived up to its reputation as being unpredictable. They have made the country proud by beating the best teams on their way to the Word Cup final.”
