Pak Cricketers seek divine intervention

Pak Cricketers seek divine intervention Cricketers seek divine intervention KARACHI: After repeated failures in the 2007 season, some players from the
Pakistan cricket team approached Dawat-e-Islami (DI) chief Maulana Ilyas Qadri
to pray for them. DI Sports Committee member Sahil Raza Attari confirmed that
several members of the team, including Misbahul Haq, Muhammad Hafeez, Faysal
Iqbal, Humayun Farhat, and some members of A-team, along with Pakistan
Sports Board Deputy Director Pervez Mughal, held a meeting with Qadri at his
residence. The meeting lasted for around 45 minutes, during which Qadri prayed
for the players and preached them to offer prayers regularly. The players approached Qadri prior to the start of a series against Zimbabwe, which has arrived at Karachi for a 22-day tour. fareed farooqui
