“This partnership allows us to do just that, while also providing our readership with quality and enjoyable content. We see great potential in this partnership, with two leading entities of sports and media worlds joining hands.”

The team is also credited with unearthing and refining some of the finest young talent available to Pakistan, with the likes of leg-spin sensation Shadab Khan and left-arm pacer Rumman Raees being at the forefront of that list.
