KARACHI: International Cricket Council (ICC) Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat has left for Dubai after a brief visit to Karachi.

ICC chief executive was in Pakistan to unveil the trophy of T20 World Cup. He also visited several stadiums of the metropolis.

Talking to Geo News after visiting Asghar Ali Shah Stadium, Lorgat said the stadium reflects how much Pakistani people are crazy for cricket. He also visited Shahid Afridi cricket ground in North Karachi and termed Afridi as a role model for youth.

Lorgat is the first high-profile international cricket official to tour Pakistan since gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka team bus at Lahore last year, leaving six police officials and a van driver dead.
