Pakistan cricket team can be assured of vociferous support from its fans after reports that Brisbane-based Pakistani cricket enthusiast Tariq Naveed is rallying support for Pakistan’s national team after purchasing 800 tickets for the upcoming T20 match between Pakistan and Australia at The Gabba.
These tickets have been earmarked for a special Pakistan Fan Zone, designed to give local fans a dedicated space to come together and proudly cheer on the Men in Green.
In a bold show of patriotism, Tariq has also revealed plans for a human flag display in the stands, a visual testament to the passion of Brisbane’s Pakistani community. He shared,
I’ve taken this step to show our support and lift the spirits of our players. These heroes from Pakistan are our guests here in Australia, and we’ll make sure to give them a rousing reception in Brisbane.
This fan-driven show of support comes on the heels of Pakistan’s historic ODI series win in Perth which reawakened the passion in cricketing fans which was lost after a string of disappointing results both away and at home.
After ending their 22-year wait for a series win the 800 ticket-holding Pakistani fans will be hoping for a repeat in the three-match T20I series which will kick off on November 14.
The Pakistani fans in Brisbane are set to make The Gabba a sea of green, turning the stadium into a home away from home for the team.
