Pakistan fans lose interest in Champions Trophy after team's early exit: Report

India Today  

Pakistani cricket fans have more or less lost interest in the ICC Champions Trophy after the early exit of their team from the competition and the onset of Ramadan. But Jamil said the work to provide state-level security for the teams, officials, media and fans had begun before the commencement of the mega event because of the three-nation tournament involving Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa in Lahore and Karachi. Fariha and Faiza, two sisters who came with a group of college friends on Saturday, said without Pakistan in contention the Champions Trophy was over for them. "Generally people stay at home and attend Taraweeh prayers after breaking fast in the first two weeks of Ramadan and they only start going out after Iftaar, after the first 15-20 days of the holy month," a PCB official said.
