On the first anniversary of the Attack on the SriLankan Team Chairman PCB Mr. Mohammad Ijaz Butt has paid tribute to the memories of those who lost their lives on that horrific day.

 

The Chairman said, "We pause to remember the victims, to grieve with the families and friends of those who died, and to honor the heroes of that day who sacrificed their lives to save others. Even though a year has passed, it has not erased the shock, horror and pain that we all felt on that day. We all remember where we were when we heard the news, and the disbelief that we felt at first, and then the sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the victims. PCB will stand shoulder to shoulder with the families of victims to help them recover from the devastating loss that they have suffered".

 

A memorial ceremony will be held at the site of the attack where a wreath will be laid by PCB in honor of the victims and prayers will be offered for the dearly departed.
