Cricketers across the globe wish Muslims a happy Eid

Players take to Twitter to celebrate day with fans

Several players of the triumphant Pakistan side that recently claimed a historic Champions Trophy title in England had labelled the title as an early gift for the nation but the country and their multitude of fans were in their mind come the big day.
Mohammad Amir, hero with the ball in the final, remained in England to make his county debut for Essex but didn’t forget to wish everyone Eid Mubarak along with a selfie with his better half.

It wasn’t just the current Pakistan players who were wishing everybody a happy Eid though. Others also joined in.

Pakistani cricketers didn't have a monopoly on the wishes though. England all-rounders Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid joined in on the act:
