Suhail Sattar said after the match that entering international cricket with his son is the proudest moment of his life. He said, “When I saw my son playing cricket for the first time, I never thought that both of us would play together for the national team one day. This moment is like a dream come true for me.” Yahya Sattar said that it is an honor for him to share the field with his father and he wants to perform better for the country in the coming times.

This historic debut is not only a family achievement, but also proof that sports can connect people across any age or generational boundary.
