i will not go to see because i don't have time due to job and busey schedule same is with other Pakistani's here in Dubai. and its a big problem with event organizers they degrade Pakistan by setting examples that Pakistan is not Safe place by their ownself why they don't organized this event in Pakistan? Pakistan was not a safe place? There was no security and Safety? there was no law and order? if no then for what purpose police is? Najam sethi thinks that earning people they will come to see matches his thinking is wrong earning for families is more important than watching matches people will not go too much to see these events even if they will be intrested they will watch it over tv not on the ground. this event will go into loss you will see it. it was better if they organized it in Pakistan more people they rush to grounds and this event bring happiness for Pakistani people but due to loadshedding people will not see even it on tv screens too its a flop show.
