Ramiz Raja demands Pakistani citizenship for Luke Ronchi
Pakistan cricket captain turned commentator Ramiz Raja has called for Pakistani citizenship for Pakistan Super League (PSL) Man of the Tournament Luke Ronchi.
“Ronchi always plays in the leagues and does not represent any country, so I believe he should be offered Pakistani citizenship and he should come here and open for us, otherwise he would be wasted if he continued to play league cricket,” said Raja, at Raja Speaks. “Come in Pakistan and open for us,” he added.
The Kiwi blaster powered his side to the PSL title after hitting a blistering half-century as he anchored Islamabad United to a three-wicket win over defending champion Peshawar Zalmi in the final on Sunday in Karachi.
