Recently, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) hosted its first-ever iftar event at the Home of Cricket, Lord’s Cricket Ground, to bring the Muslim community and sports together.
The event was attended by a number of high-profile dignitaries including commentators, Aatif Nawaz and Tameena Hussain, while England’s white-ball captain, Eoin Morgan, was also present at the event.
The guests appreciated the step taken by the cricket board and Lord’s management for promoting unity.
Currently, Shaheen Shah is representing Middlesex in the ongoing English County Championship. In his debut match, he took four wickets while his side won that match by an innings and 82 runs. Shah is now all set to play his maiden first-class match at Lord’s.
