MELBOURNE: In remembrance of the 1992 World Cup, which was competed in Australia during Ramadan, the Pakistan cricket team and management have begun fasting during Rabi' al-Thani.
The Men in Green qualified for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 final by defeating New Zealand earlier this week, and cricket enthusiasts compare this qualification to Pakistan's in the 1992 World Cup.
Details indicate that the team management and some players began fasting the day after the Netherlands defeated South Africa on November 6, sealing Pakistan's position in the semifinals.
Muhammad Yousuf and Saqlain Mushtaq, the team's coaches, fasted on game days, and several players fasted the day before the game. They also advised all players to fast and pray.
