Pakistan fans in Leeds were treated to a memorable moment on Wednesday when British soprano Laura Wright delivered a soulful acapella rendition of the national anthem before the England clash. Her performance quickly won praise from viewers in Pakistan, with some fans calling it emotional and even suggesting she receive Pakistani citizenship. Others were less convinced, while several focused on Pakistan’s performance. With England chasing a modest target, fans also suggested Aima Baig and Sahir Ali Bagga for future England tours.
