By Rida Zaheer

Though matches were played under Corona environment without Cricket lovers but still would be known in the history as an marvelous effort of both the Boards, providing entertainment to both nations in such a tense situation.

England Cricket team overall displayed excellent performance in all fields but Pakistani team disappointed its public due to their bad performance. However, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) thanked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for agreeing to tour England during these testing times. In this regard English concern officalsand team states, that despite losing the third T20I against Pakistan by 5 runs, there was no love lost between the two teams as the hosts thanked the visitors for agreeing to tour England at a time when not many sporting events are happening around the globe.
“Massive respect and thanks to @TheRealPCB for coming over in these extraordinary times,” England Cricket tweeted from its official account.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain also thanked Pakistan for touring England as he tweeted: “Great game !!! Thank you Pakistan for coming over to England in these difficult times … it is much appreciated!!”
Anyhow, the only positivity found out that games lovers took risk and provided and excellent entertainment through their game to both nations. Hope, similar gesture will be shown by England Team to visit Pakistan at the end of this year.
