Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment has made arrangements for expatriate workers to enjoy the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, without gathering on the streets.
In a tweet posted on Tuesday, the minister said that they are looking for a space to “set up a big screen” and that discussions have already been held with Planning Minister Mohamed Aslam.
