Pakistan cricket has been thrown into turmoil after New Zealand and England recently pulled out of their respective tours to the country. While the Kiwis cited a security threat, the ECB gave “mental health concerns” as the reason for backing out.
Taking to his official Twitter account on Thursday, Raja shared a message of hope for Pakistani cricket while announcing the commencement of the T20 competition.
Incidentally, Rawalpindi was scheduled to host the first ODI of the series against New Zealand last week, but the Kiwis pulled out before the start of the match.
The National T20 Cup will be held in Pakistan from September 23 to October 13. Apart from Rawalpindi, Multan will also host a few matches. The knockout games will be played in Lahore.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic last year, Pakistan visited England for three Tests and as many T20Is.
