ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Senator Faisal Javed Khan has said on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan will now focus on improving sports, especially cricket.
In a media talk, Javed said the premier could not concentrate on cricket earlier as he was focused on stabilising the economy and strengthening the institutions, which were in shambles.
