Surfraz Ahmed met the Queen Pakistani way.

[Maarkhoor]

Not all heroes wear capes. Some definitely wear shalwar kameez as well. Pakistan’s cricket captain Sarfaraz opted for the later and Pakistan loves it.

He met Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, along with other skippers ahead of World Cup 2019 opening party at The Mall, in front of Buckingham Palace in central London yesterday. But rather than opting to wear some other attire, Sarfaraz Ahmed chose to represent Pakistan in our national dress.

In a white shalwar kameez, topped with a green blazer with moon and star on it, Sarfaraz’s gesture has touched Pakistanis. Ahmed can be seen comfortable and confident, with a smile on his face, and that is exactly what we need.

Pakistan needs people who can represent its culture to the world, and send a message that not only are we far more than what the media labels us, we also are proud of our cultural history, tradition, our dressing and every single thing that is affiliated with this beautiful green and white flag.
This came as a fresh breeze for a lot of reasons. Firstly, that it is not an often sight that a national star chooses to flaunt the national dress on international platforms. Secondly, because the whole squad was following the standard dress code, it made Pakistan standout. Thirdly. the way Sarfaraz Ahmed was confident with it, not caring about looking the ‘odd one out’ has definitely won many hearts.

Exactly

Blazer is a mismatch

it is not good that our captain is standing behind and indian captain is sitting infront while making photograph with queen.

 

[airmarshal]

Very impressive. The other captains too look very sharp.

If choice of dress was Pakistani, for a formal occasion like this, it should have been sherwani. To me, nothing beats the grace of well stitched sherwani.

Those shoes look very casual.

Altogether, the Pakistani culture to me is about friendship, its about loyalty and its about respect. Despite some well deserved criticism, I love my culture and my Pak Army . It’s the best kept secret and the only way to explore it is to visit Pakistan.
Pakistan was ranked Top number 1 in 2018 in the list of travel destination by CNN Travel and one of the reason given by CNN team was ‘the endless hospitality’ of people.My pakistan, My Culture and My people.Love it all.

Good for Sarfaraz. Our national dress should be represented. Blazer seemed a bit odd though, but maybe PCB haven't issued a sherwani

 

[Arsalan 345]

I don't think that it was place to represent national dress.all players are almost in similar clothes except sarfaraz.looks odd.
