Pakistan’s national cricket team is making headlines not only for their performances on the field but also for their compassion off it. Head coach Mike Hesson has dedicated the team’s recent victories in the tri-nation series to the victims of devastating floods in Pakistan.
Pakistan opened their tri-series campaign with a victory over Afghanistan before outclassing the United Arab Emirates in their next match. These back-to-back triumphs gave the team momentum and renewed confidence ahead of upcoming challenges.
A Gesture of Solidarity
In a heartfelt message shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Mike Hesson announced that the team’s wins were dedicated to those suffering due to the ongoing floods. “Some people are going through extremely difficult times. We dedicate our victories to them and pray for their safety and strength,” he said.

Flood Crisis in Pakistan
Large parts of Pakistan, especially Punjab province, are currently experiencing severe flooding and landslides. Overflowing rivers have forced thousands of people from their homes, creating a humanitarian crisis. According to reports, the death toll from flood-related incidents in Punjab has already reached 30, with many more families displaced and struggling for shelter and basic needs.
Cricket Beyond the Boundary
Hesson’s gesture reflects the role of sports in offering hope during national crises. While cricket remains a source of entertainment and pride for the country, the dedication of these victories to flood victims highlights the players’ empathy and awareness of the challenges faced by their fellow citizens.
