“The series against England is an important and competitive one against a form team that has just reclaimed the Ashes. But I expect that Team Pakistan shall perform well enough to prevail over England.”
Javed Afridi, CEO Haier, reassured its group’s continued support to Pakistan cricket at every level, in domestic and international cricket.
Ali Habib, Head of Corporate Affairs and Marketing at UBL said, “UBL has a history rich in supporting all sports, particularly cricket. Our commitment to cricket is reflected in not only sponsoring bilateral series but also managing our sports complex and training facilities, which are frequently used for domestic cricket. We also have a team playing in first class cricket. We are excited to be the presenting sponsors for the Pakistan versus England Series – one of the most anticipated cricketing events of the year.”
