Karachi and Lahore, two of Pakistan’s biggest cities, have produced some of the best cricketers in Pakistani history, but this has slowly been changing. As pointed out by Dr. Nauman Niaz in a tweet, both the squads have only one player between them from either of the two cities. Babar Azam, who is from Lahore, is playing for Karachi Kings.
Sargodha-born, veteran all-rounder, Mohammad Hafeez, took a dig at the rivalry by replying to the tweet.
