Believe it or not, Pakistani cricketers do have some following outside of Pakistan. It could be fans travelling from Pakistan or just expats, but Babar Azam and Co. do manage to find decent support everywhere. And sometimes the a group of supporters can soon turn into a mob, just to get a glimpse of their favorite star.
This is exactly what happened in Cardiff, prior to the third T20I between Pakistan and England. A few supporters interrupted Babar during an interview, and he had to ask them to step back. In fact, such was the situation, that he had to ask the security personnel to make them leave.
Just to tackle the supporters and fans, as per a report in Geo News, the PCB has asked the ECB for additional two security officers to the players. The report further suggests that the two officers will be present during the players’ movements.
