  • 'People want to get into festive mood' says Raja.
  • Pakistan would face Sri Lanka tonight for the first T20I at Lahore.

It seems that Pakistan former captain Ramiz Raja is frustrated with country’s news channels, over not giving cricket news more space as Pakistan faces Sri Lanka tonight (Saturday) at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore.

“At least for today can I ask the news channels to put cricket news at the top and politics at the back end. People want to get into festive mood of cricket. Don’t screw their day. Please!” tweeted the former captain turned cricket commentator.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka will meet for the first T20I tonight (Saturday) at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Pakistan has already won the ODI series 2-0 after the first match of the series was washed out.

Pakistan: Ahmed Shehzad, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Umar Akmal, Asif Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed(Capt), Faheem Ashraf, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Haris Sohail, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Hasnain, Usman Shinwari

Sri Lanka: Avishka Fernando, Danushka Gunathilaka, Oshada Fernando, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Shehan Jayasuriya, Angelo Perera, Dasun Shanaka(Capt), Isuru Udana, Kasun Rajitha, Lakshan Sandakan, Nuwan Pradeep, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Lahiru Madushanka, Minod Bhanuka, Lahiru Kumara, Wanindu Hasaranga
