The Pakistani cricket team took some time out from their busy schedule to visit the hallowed Old Trafford, the home of top English Premier League club Manchester United.
The cricketers, led by skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, visited the 75,000-capacity stadium and clicked several photographs with many trophies won by the 'Red Devils'.
The team and management were invited by Manchester United to visit Old Trafford.
Not just Misbah, even former captain Mohammad Hafeez, current One-Day International skipper Azhar Ali and fast bowler Wahab Riaz clicked several photos with their families at the stadium.
This came after the Pakistan Cricket Board did a U-turn to allow cricketers to have their families with them after initally refusing the same.
