"The fans that travel, that support Pakistan are so passionate, we see," he said. "When the Pakistan Super League was played there, the fans were selling out grounds in minutes.”

He added: "From all reports, the guys who played there said it was an amazing time to play cricket in Pakistan, just for them to have cricket back in their home country where there's so much love and passion for the game is incredible.”
