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
