Former West India stalwart, Sir Viv Ricahrds, famous as the only genuine blaster, said he always enjoyed touring Pakistan. “I have always enjoyed going to Pakistan,” said Richards who also toured Pakistan as a player on various occasions. “I now enjoy it more, especially because the individual now in charge of Pakistan have been a great friend and that is Imran Khan. We have competed against each other many times. I have always enjoyed going to Pakistan. Javed Miandad is my best mate there. I have lots and lots of fans and to have DJ with us, is great. This means a lot and to just spread the words as we are ambassadors of the game will be awesome.”
New Zealand’s Colin Munro will be touring Pakistan for the first time. That makes him even more excited. “It’s going to be a pretty amazing especially playing in front of a packed crowd,” said Munro, who will be wearing the Karachi Kings kit. “Obviously, there was not much cricket there of international flavor, so just trying to get over there and put a good show.” Munro hoped Karachi Kings will make it to the play-offs and he will deliver what is expected of him.
Another Karachi Kings batsman Colin Ingram, who notched the highest individual score of PSL history with 127 not out against Quetta in Sharjah, wants Karachi to play in front of the home fans. Ingram said the fans make the event a memorable one. “My message is to enjoy and take the moment. They (Karachi fans) have been desperate for the return of cricket and there has always been challenging circumstances. We look forward and hopefully we play well.”
