As the international cricket is set to return in Pakistan in a big way with the Independence Cup, Bangladesh opening batsman Tamim Iqbal said he is proud to be part of the World XI team that will play three Twenty20 matches in Pakistan next month.
“I feel that representing the World XI is a big achievement for me and I’m very proud of it,” Tamim told.
“I think that 10 Test playing nations are like a family. Someone has to help international cricket get back to Pakistan.
“They [ICC] have taken a fantastic initiative. If they are successful in hosting, I hope more international teams will visit Pakistan” he added.
The World XI will play three Twenty20 Internationals for the Independence Cup against Pakistan in the city of Lahore on 12, 13 and 15 September.
