The month of Pakistan completed a hat -trick of the Veterans Cricket World Cup win when they defeated Sri Lanka in the final by six wickets in Colombo last month.

In this way, Pakistan completed a hat -trick of victories in the World Cup for veterans. Less than two years ago, Misbah -ul -Haq had picked up more than 40 in the National Stadium Karachi. In 2022, Pakistan won more than 60 World Cups in Brisbane Australia under the captaincy of Fawad Ijaz Khan, which is the chairman of the Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association (PVCA).

Since Pakistan was refused a visa for the World Cup in Chennai India for more than 60 in Chennai to defend this title. Thus, he was technically unbeaten after the victory against New Zealand in the final in 2022.

And now in Colombo last month, the famous Arjun Ranatanga (Sri Lanka team captain who won the World Cup in Lahore in Lahore in 1996) returned the winner in the World Cup for more than fifty decades, and he defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets on his home.

Sadly, like the victory of his previous World Cup (in the last four years), this victory is not recognized by the nation and has been celebrated.

Perhaps the ICC Champions Trophy, which began as the IMC World Cup (known as the International Masters Cup), removed the attention. Therefore, the irony is that on the same day when Pakistan’s national team was struggling against India in the first innings in the ICC Championship, the ICC Championship was competing against the team with a strong host team in Colombo over the 50s.

And that to reach the semi -finals, the Pakistan party struggled against all the difficulties to defeat India, in which the tournament also knocked India.

The Pakistani government should at least acknowledge that the PVCA has not only received the victory but in the last five years where it has received three honors. In fact, in Australia in Australia, in the opening of the World Cup in Pakistan, Pakistan was runner -up, defeating only 2 runs in Australia in the final.

However, the Sindh government hosted a major program to celebrate and respect the PVCA after returning with the World Cup trophy for more than 60. Will Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif do the same thing on the PVCA and his teams who have received the World Cup hat -trick for veterans?

In this event, Pakistan sent a 17 -member team to Sri Lanka, with all self -financing or private sponsors. The team consisted of 3 management officials, including a team physio.

It was going to be tough because of the power of teams coming from other 13 countries.

The Pakistan group included Wales, Australia, the West Indies, Canada, South Africa and India.

Pakistan played a thrilling game in the first game of overcoming 3 runs on Wales when they posted 261 in 45 overs of their allotted. His captain and opener Mohsin Iftab Qarshi and Mohammad Shahid scored fast in half a century. Wells came to a strong position with 127-2 at a time, but Muhammad Jabd (4-30 in 6 overs) surpassed them as a winner in the last over.

He was shocked to lose 8 wickets against the Australian people, despite the strong partnership between Mohsin Iftab Qureshi (53) and Debutant Irfan Ali Khan, with just 51 balls hitting 63. However, since then, Pakistan defeated the West Indies in the final by 147 runs, 130 runs from Canada’s big margin, South Africa in the final by 5 wickets.

The match against India has supported everything about Pakistan for more than the 50s. The spirit of his fighting, his flexibility and his game was all for exhibition in the game, which was a virtual quarter -final.

Winning the toss India was put in Pakistan. These were difficult conditions and at one stage Pakistan was 124-6 in the 29th over. From there, a partnership of 64 runs between Mohammad Hafij 29 and Sheikh Iqbal Ahmed (44) and wicketkeeper Azir Khan (40) ended the innings with Mohammad Jafar Qureshi in a bulletz, with 30 runs on 17 balls, including two towering touchs. Yet Pakistan ended at 226.

The 17th over was a favorite for winning 80-1 in India. But then Mohammad Jabb took three wickets to put pressure. Still, only 27 are needed and Pakistan needs something special with 11 overs and five wickets.

And it came from the entire team when they bowled and continued wickets to get on a brilliant field and pushed India forward against all difficulties to qualify for the semi -finals and end India by 2 runs.

The pace was now with Pakistan and although his semi -final was now against the toppers of England, who was in fact the champion defense defense, the mood in Pakistan camp was encouraging.

Put them in the bat. At one point he was 70-5 in the 20th over. But then the Fightbacks who once again demonstrated the Pakistan team, this time in the form of a trusted pair of Sheikh Iqbal Ahmed (91 ball 77 77) and Mohammad Hafij (32 off 46 balls), who strengthened the innings with an 80 -run partnership.

Once Muhammad Hafij left Sheikh Iqbal Ahmed, a capable teammate in Mohammad Jabb, who added 58 runs. Finally, Pakistan ended at 231-9.

Pakistan made an early journey and at one stage England was 22-2 due to New Bowler Rehan Rauf in the 10th. Nevertheless, some notable innings of the two England batsmen kept the Pakistanis under pressure, but eventually Pakistan won 9 runs when Rauf returned with his third wicket of the tournament.

And likewise, Pakistan marched in the finals, with the five veterinary World Cup tournaments they had a fourth final match in which they had participated in the last seven years.

The Sri Lankan captain in the toss chose the first batting and took advantage of 88 for the opening partnership in domestic conditions. But then the Pakistani bowlers managed to pierce the top order and regain the move at 133-5 in the 30th over. However, the sixth wicket partnership brought the score to 196, but the Sri Lankans were returned to the last tomorrow of 233-7 in their 45 overs.

Lanka’s bowlers immediately put Pakistan on Monday when they lost 2-14. But then Asif Humayun and Mohammad Shahid formed the chase. He droves, draws, cuts, cuts, derived to return the move in a partnership of 109 in 21 overs. Even when Shahid left Asif, he met a capable colleague in Sheikh Iqbal, though sadly one cup was lost in the final when he left for 89.

By then, Pakistan was within 52 runs for the 7 -overs. They still need more than 7. Sri Lanka believed that they would consist of the middle and lower orders of Pakistan.

But both Sheikh Iqbal and Mohammad Hafiz made sure that Pakistan was not denied victory. When the last over started, the scores were tied. And away from the first ball of the last, the two defamed the single, which gave Pakistan a trophy. Rehan Rauf and Asif Humayun were selected in the World XI more than the fifties announced at the closing ceremony of the World Cup.

In the company of his chairman Fawad Ajaz Khan, who had flown to promote his morale, especially before the Indian game, he celebrated in the field and then at the ceremony. Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan and Quetta Gladiators Nadeem Omar were also in Colombo to please the Pakistan team.

The teams of former Pakistani soldiers won three of the four finals played by the 40s, 50s and the 60s. This does not mean and is not less than the 1992 and 2009 World Cup victory as well as the 2017 Champions Trophy.

In particular, three victories of Pakistan’s former soldiers have been victorious since the Pakistan national team has failed to reach the knockout stage of any of the ICC tournaments.

In fact, the veterans have achieved what their national team has not done. He has been proud of Pakistan and it is time that he should be recognized and praised by the nation and especially by the Pakistan government.

From December 1 to 13 this year, PVCA is organizing more than 40S IMCT20 World Cup. Fourteen teams are expected. In more than 40s Global Cup in Karachi, two years ago, teams from all over the world went home singing the PVCA organization and hospitality. At that time, the PVCA did all this with private sponsorship. Will Pakistan and Sindh government support the PVCA and support those who continue to bring honors to the country?

It can be included here Medicam Group was more than 50s Pakistan World Cup sponsor.
