Shoaib overwhelmed by response
ON BOARD: Excited Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza reached Islamabad, from where they were escorted to a local hotel.

In an exclusive chat with Geo News on board from Karachi to Islamabad flight, Shoaib said he knew he would witness thrilling atmosphere but never knew it would be this big and that he could not help feeling totally overwhelmed.

“I was very excited to watch the festivities unfolding in Pakistan,” Shoaib told the Geo News correspondent.

He also thanked airport authorities for showing extra care.

While replying to a question about his future plan regarding cricket, Shoaib expressed his keenness to rejoin the green kit. “I wish T20 squad best of luck”, Shoaib remarked.

He said Sania is also very excited on the warm welcome accorded to the couple on arrival. “I thank everyone on her behalf,” he said.

Shoaib Malik said he wished the program of Valima reception goes well too.
