"Basically, after the last World Cup, Saqlain Mushtaq integrated this tradition, as part of the team. This motivates a lot of players because when you see this flag you also see the support and wishes of 22 crore people who are back home. We are playing for them and our country, and this is our way of keeping the country before us and playing for her with all our might," stated Rauf.
