English fans stumped by segregation in Pak stadiums - Webindia123
English female cricket fans visiting Pakistan to watch the ongoing Test and ODI series between the two countries are surprised to see separate enclosures for men and women at the cricket stadiums in Pakistan. Claire, a cricket fan from London who is accompanying the Barmy Army, said that she was surprised to see separate seats for women. "It's really surprising to note here that women here are arranged to sit in a separate enclosure away from their husbands," The Nation quoted her as saying.
Meanwhile, the Barmy Army fans say that their friends back home have missed out a great opportunity to visit this part of the world. They exchange thumbs up whenever any score is made or wicket is down. Pakistan fans cheer them up and England fans do the same in a very cordial atmosphere. "We have never seen or heard such a noise in the crowd. In England, we sit in the stands and just enjoy the proceedings and sometimes sing and wave," said Richard, who is from Manchester.
