Bashir had reached Hyderabad airport to give the Men in Green a warm welcome
KARACHI: A devoted Pakistan cricket fan Chacha Bashir was stopped from waving the Pakistani flag at the Hyderabad Airport by security personnel.
The incident left Bashir disappointed and frustrated as his enthusiasm to welcome the cricket stars was met with opposition from security personnel.
Bashir, who had eagerly brought the Pakistani flag to show his support and love for the team, was taken aback when security personnel approached him and confiscated the flag. "My clothes are of Pakistani colour," Bashir protested, expressing his deep disappointment at the situation.
Bashir, who hails from the United States of America, had reached Hyderabad to give the Men in Green a warm welcome.
Bashir, wearing a green suit to represent his love for Pakistan, reached Hyderabad to show his love and support for Babar Azam and his men.
“I have come here to boost the morale of the Pakistan cricket team,” Bashir said. “Pakistani team will enjoy delicious food in Hyderabad.”
“I will travel to every city where Pakistan will play their matches to support them,” he added.
It must be noted Pakistan has arrived in Hyderabad to participate in ICC Men's World Cup. Pakistan team was accompanied by more than 20 security cars as Babar Azam and his team moved to their hotel.
The national team left at 3.20am earlier today from Lahore airport and made a brief stopover in Dubai before taking a flight to India's Hyderabad.
Pakistan’s travel contingent consisted of 18 players and 13-player support personnel.
Less than 48 hours after landing in India, Pakistan will play their first warmup game against New Zealand on September 29 in Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, their last warmup match will be against Australia on October 3, three days before they begin their World Cup campaign by taking the Netherlands on October 6 at the same stadium.
