Roshan Abeysinghe, who was in Pakistan to commentate in the two-match Test series, was all praise for Pakistan’s hospitality, security arrangements, food, and whatnot until he went to Karachi international airport to return home.
The immigration services at the airport have highly disappointed the Sri Lankan commentator after “inefficient officers coupled with lack of professionalism delayed the Qatar flight by almost 1.5 hours”.

The 56-year-old took to Facebook to highlight the poor services at such an important place.
Sadly for all the beautiful hospitality and service Pakistan offered, the immigration service at the Karachi international airport is in shambles.
“It’s been a heartburn for many trying catch connecting flights out of Doha going home for Christmas. Such poor service at an important institution such as an airport can create a terrible image about Pakistan undoing all the good work of the rest of the country. Absolutely dismayed to be honest”, Abeysinghe further wrote.
The former first-class Sri Lankan cricketer’s words could have serious consequences for Pakistan especially after doing such a great job with hosting the all-important Test series.
