It seems that Pakistan former captain Ramiz Raja is frustrated with country’s news channels, over not giving cricket news more space as Pakistan faces Sri Lanka tonight (Saturday) at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore.
“At least for today can I ask the news channels to put cricket news at the top and politics at the back end. People want to get into festive mood of cricket. Don’t screw their day. Please!” tweeted the former captain turned cricket commentator.
Atleast for today can I ask the news channels to put cricket news at the top and politics at the back end. People want to get into festive mood of cricket. Don’t screw their day. Please!
