“I’m Going To Pakistan Tomorrow”- Chris Gayle Reacts After New Zealand Cancels Pakistan Tour

While Pakistan is still reeling from New Zealand’s unexpected cancellation of their tour due to a perceived security concern, “Universe Boss” Chris Gayle has spoken out in support of the country. “I’m going to Pakistan tomorrow,” the swashbuckling left-hander wrote, taking the internet by storm.

His tweet drew a flood of responses from Pakistani supporters, who praised him for showing support for the country at such a difficult time. Chris Gayle, who is a famous figure throughout the world, not only announced his trip to Pakistan but also encouraged others to join him. Even the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) retweeted his message.

“This act will bite u in future” – Mohammad Amir To New Zealand

Mohammad Amir, Pakistan’s left-arm bowler, praised Gayle’s gesture and replied to his tweet with, “See u there legend.” Amir had earlier chastised New Zealand for canceling the Pakistan tour. The left-arm pacer said that their act will come back to haunt them later.

“[Hi New Zealand] might b we as a Pakistani will forgive u because we are a loving nation but this act will bite u in future for sure,” wrote Amir.

The New Zealand Cricket Board chose to pull out of the tour shortly before the start of the ODI series opener at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Friday, citing a government notice. Despite assurances from Pakistan’s Prime Minister and former cricket captain Imran Khan, they refused to participate.

New Zealand’s team has already left Pakistan and arrived in Dubai, where they will prepare for the T20 World Cup 2021. For their decision, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has received a lot of backlash from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and other Pakistan cricketers.

“There’s a lot of pressure created on Pakistan cricket and (especially) Pakistan cricket at home,” PCB chairman Ramiz Raja told cricket fans in a video message released on Saturday.The fight to survive is the base on which we challenge the whole world. If such a situation is developed (again) when international cricket comes under pressure in Pakistan, we will challenge them once again.” PCB chairman Ramiz Raja spoke in a video message.
