The ICC World Cup 2019 kicked off yesterday with a glorious opening ceremony in London, where Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed represented the team and the country wearing the national dress, which garnered a lot of appreciation from many on social media.
The skipper wore white shalwar kameez, paired with a green coat sporting the official logo of Pakistan cricket. Sarfraz indeed stood out among all the other captains, who was the only one wearing his country's national dress.
Along with many fans, actor Hamza Ali Abbasi was also among those who praised the captain to represent the country wearing the traditional dress. Hamza took to his Twitter to pay his respect to the Pakistani skipper for representing Pakistan in its traditional dress on such an international platform.

The world cup fever is on while every cricket fan in Pakistan is excited to see their team perform at the mega tournament, including our celebrities who are now often seen speaking about the tournament on Twitter. As Pakistan has embarked upon the world cup journey with a shaky start and a loss in the warm up match, things seem tough for the team.
Where every Pakistani cricket fan is looking forward to win ICC World Cup 2019, Pakistani actor and host Ali Safina has expressed his disappointment towards team’s poor performance as he believes that Pakistan will never win this year’s World Cup trophy.
He took to Twitter to raise his concerns and said that looking at the past record of Pakistani cricket team, this year’s trophy is not coming home for sure.
