Lahore: Mohammad Aamir Jan, Secretary Sports of Punjab, has congratulated the Pakistan team on completing a clean-sweep in the three-match Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka here.
In his felicitation message on Monday, Aamir Jan appreciated Pakistan players’ excellent teamwork in the three-match series. He lauded the performances of left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir, all-rounders Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Usman Shinwari and veteran campaigner Shoaib Malek for their remarkable contributions to the team’s historic series triumph.
He also praised the captaincy of Sarfraz Ahmad, who showed great command on a young team, especially in testing times.
