With Imran Khan now ready to become the prime minister, the country hopes to improve national sports
KARACHI: With Imran Khan now ready to become the prime minister, a lot of people in the country are hoping that he would help strengthen sports and games in the country. Considering that Imran Khan himself was a sportsman, a cricketing legend to be precise, it isn’t naïve for people to hope for improvement in the sphere of sports.
Most sports in the country are in a state of neglect so we are unable to compete at the international level. Barring cricket, we have not done well internationally. We also perform poorly in Asian Games and rarely make it to the Olympics.
It is time that this state of affairs was rectified. Hopefully Imran Khan can bring about the change that is direly needed.
