Sharing a video of the upcoming talent, Planning Minister Asad Umar said that the young players from Balochistan will raise the name of Pakistan on the world stage.

In February last year, Gwadar, the largest port city in the province, hosted its first-ever exhibition match played between Showbiz Sharks and Gwadar Dolphins.

The exhibition match — organised by singer, actor and TV presenter Fakhr-e-Alam in the lush green stadium of Gwadar near the coast — was dedicated to Pakistan's iconic mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara who was declared dead by his family and authorities earlier.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) also shared photos of the Gwadar Stadium and challenged people to find a more picturesque stadium.
