Pakistan ODI captain Shaheen Afridi hosted the teams of Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe for a dinner in Islamabad on Saturday. Pakistan and Sri Lanka are in action for a 3-match ODI series, with Zimbabwe joining them for a tri-series next week. The dinner in the Pakistan capital city comes less than a week after Sri Lanka players wanted to leave fearing safety following the bombings.

According to the GeoTV, the dinner was hosted to honour the two touring sides despite the current climate of fear. It was held at the rooftop of a high-end restaurant in Islamabad. The menu included a range of traditional dishes, which received words of acknowledgement from the players of both Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
