LAHORE: England stand-in captain Moeen Ali disclosed that he was appointed by the food in Lahore, saying Karachi was really good in terms of food. 

Moeen, who led the English side to a clinical 4-3 series win against Pakistan in the seven-match historic T20I series against Pakistan, expressed his opinion about the food in two of the biggest cities of Pakitan.

“Food-wise, I’ve been a little bit disappointed in Lahore. Karachi was really good” said Moeen at a post-match press conference on Sunday after the final T20I. “Maybe I have lost my taste buds a bit” he added.

The all-rounder, however, found the hospitality of both the cities quite overwhelming as he called it ‘one of the best in the world.

“The hospitality (in Pakistan) is one of the best in the World. The people look after you so well and they are so nice to you,” he said.

Talking about the security arrangments during England’s historic tour of Pakistan, England skipper said that the security had been outstanding and way above their expectations.

“We’ve looked after extremely well. We’ve really enjoyed being here after such a long time. It’s been outstanding” he said.

It is pertinent to mention here that England visited Pakistan for the time in 17 years and played their first T20I series against Green Shirts on the latter’s home soil.
