Pakistani cricket team is currently touring New Zealand playing test matches against blackcaps.
Pakistani cricket team arrived in Wellington on Sunday, 29th Nov 2009 and attended a dinner and Eid Milan party at the Community Centre, Johnsonville, Wellington hosted by the Pakistan -New Zealand Friendship Association Inc based in Palmerston North.
The team was warmly welcomed at the airport by members of the Pakistani community from Wellington and Palmerston North. On the same evening Pakistani community held the welcome dinner which was attended by 200 people from lower north island and Auckland .
A number of Pakistanis including Jamshed Hassan, the President of Pakistan Association in Auckland came down for the event.
It was a delightful evening for the team, management and guests. The Pakistani Cricket team was formally welcomed by Dr Ashraf Choudhary MP, and this was followed by short speeches by the cricket team Captain Muhammad Yousaf and the manager Intikhab Alam. 
Everyone mixed and mingled including team members and kids enjoyed the occasion meeting with their favourite cricket players. It was certainly an event that New Zealand Pakistanis, particularly the younger members will cherish for long time to come. The PakNZ, particularly the former secretary, Jamil Khan and his team of volunteers, did a a marvellous job in organising this event. Well done.
Dr Ashraf Choudhary MP
