Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has raised his concern over the lack of crowd during the first T20I between Pakistan and West Indies at National Stadium, Karachi on Monday.
Wasim showed his frustration and wrote: “Incredibly sad to see an empty stadium in Karachi for the #PAKvWIt20 [Pakistan-West Indies T20I] especially after the performance of Pakistan team in the last month. I’m pretty sure I know why but I want to hear from you! Tell me, where is the crowd and why?”
According to a news outlet, the limited number of fans that were present at the venue complained about the huge delays they had to bear before the game started.
Talking to media, one fan said that he had to wait more than three hours before he was provided with an update that the match will begin soon.
Responding to this, Wasim emphasised that this is a concerning matter since these teams are playing international series and not some backyard cricket.
Pakistan had defeated West Indies by 63 runs.
