The excitement in Pakistan’s cricketing circles has reached a fever pitch with the ongoing Pakistan vs England 3-Test series. In a landmark sponsorship deal, Kingdom Valley has proudly partnered with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the official sponsor of this highly anticipated contest between two of cricket’s most celebrated teams. With Kingdom Valley’s involvement, this series has become not just a sporting spectacle, but also a testament to Pakistan’s growing importance in the global cricketing arena.
The series, hosted in Pakistan, marks another successful stride in the country’s efforts to bring international cricket back to its home grounds. The first two matches have already concluded, and with the gripping nature of the games, excitement continues to grow ahead of the third and final test. But more than just the matches, it has been the strong presence and support of Kingdom Valley that has set this series apart, culminating in a significant milestone during the trophy unveiling ceremony held in Multan.
The Trophy Unveiling Ceremony in Multan
On the eve of the first Test, a grand trophy unveiling ceremony was held in the historic city of Multan, the heart of southern Punjab and a city rich in cricketing history. The event was attended by notable dignitaries, players, and cricket enthusiasts alike. Among the high-profile attendees was Mr. Ghulam Hussain Shahid, the Chairman of Kingdom Group and Kingdom Valley, whose leadership and vision have helped shape the development of Kingdom Valley and its outreach within the community.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Shahid expressed his pride and enthusiasm about sponsoring a series of this magnitude. He reiterated Kingdom Valley’s commitment to promoting sports, especially cricket, which holds a special place in the hearts of millions of Pakistanis. “Cricket is a unifying force in our country, and we are honoured to be part of this series. This collaboration is a reflection of our dedication to Pakistan’s growth, not only in real estate but in every field that brings people together,” Mr. Shahid remarked during the ceremony.
The unveiling of the trophy in Multan added to the symbolism of the event. As Pakistan and England’s top cricketers gathered around the shining trophy, it became clear that this was not just another series, but one that would be remembered for its electrifying performances, record-breaking moments, and the enduring bond between the two nations.
A Thrilling Series So Far
The first two matches of the series have already seen some nail-biting action and exceptional individual performances. As cricket fans from around the world have tuned in to watch, both Pakistan and England have displayed moments of brilliance on the field.
In the first Test match, played at Rawalpindi, England took a commanding victory. Their aggressive and skilful performance saw them outplay the home side, securing a comprehensive win. The star of the match was none other than England’s explosive middle-order batsman, Harry Brook, who played a pivotal role in guiding his team to success. His stellar performance with the bat earned him the coveted Kingdom Valley Best Player of the Match award, which was personally handed over to him by Chairman Ghulam Hussain Shahid.
Harry Brook’s innings were a masterclass in stroke play, as he smashed boundaries with ease, keeping the Pakistani bowlers on the backfoot throughout. His ability to manoeuvre the ball around the field and his resilience under pressure were key to England’s dominance in the match.
Mr. Shahid, while presenting the award, commended Brook’s impressive talent and sportsmanship, calling it an example for young cricketers across the globe. “Harry Brook has shown great temperament and skill, qualities that resonate with the values of Kingdom Valley,” he said, adding that this was just the beginning of an exciting series.
The second Test match, played in Karachi, was a thrilling contest that saw Pakistan bounce back with an inspiring victory. The home team, determined to level the series, put up a strong performance both with the bat and the ball. Pakistan’s Sajid Khan was the standout player, delivering a stunning all-round performance that played a decisive role in securing the win for his team. Sajid Khan’s efforts did not go unnoticed, as he was rightfully awarded the Kingdom Valley Player of the Match accolade.
Sajid’s contributions with both the ball and the bat turned the tide in Pakistan’s favour. His accurate off-spin bowling dismantled the English batting lineup, while his lower-order batting resistance frustrated the visitors, allowing Pakistan to put up a formidable total. His efforts ensured that the home side levelled the series, and the Pakistani crowd roared with excitement as their team secured a much-needed victory.
While presenting the award, Mr. Ghulam Hussain Shahid praised Sajid Khan’s dedication and determination. “Sajid Khan’s performance is a reflection of the spirit of Pakistani cricket. His perseverance and fighting spirit are exactly what we aim to promote through our association with this series,” said Mr. Shahid.
