On Thursday, Haris Rauf, the fast bowler from Pakistan, along with his wife, performed Umrah, and shared a photo in front of the Kaaba on his official Twitter account with the caption “Alhamdulillah”.
Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, is also presently in Makkah to perform Umrah, while Mohammad Abbas, a Test cricketer, performed Umrah during Ramadan.
During the Afghanistan T20I series, Haris, along with Babar, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman, were given rest, and as a result, Pakistan’s inexperienced squad lost the three-match series 2-1.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) aimed to provide youngsters with the opportunity to test their skills at the international level by giving them a chance to play during the series, and thus, the likes of Saim Ayub, Ihsanullah, Zaman Khan, and Tayyab Tahir were given an opportunity.
