Pictures released by Pakistan Cricket Team official Facebook fan page showed players, including captain Misbahul Haq, opening batsman Mohammad Hafeez, left-arm fast-bowler Wahab Riaz, and ODI captain Azhar Ali, visiting the Theater of Dreams with their families, coach Micky Arthur, team manager Intikhab Alam and other supporting staff on the invitation of one of the biggest football clubs in the country.
The visit comes after Misbah’s men suffered a humiliating defeat in the second Test by 330 runs, which means the four match series now hangs in the balance.
The Green Caps are scheduled to face county side Worcestershire in a two-day practice game which will begin on Friday, before facing hosts for the all important third Test which will begin on August 3 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
