Rawalpindi's "historic" KRL Stadium has been renamed after former pacer Shoaib Akhtar and the fast bowler is lost for words after it was named in his honour.
Shoaib Akhtar is renowned as "The Rawalpindi Express".
The former fast bowler said he had done his "best" to serve Pakistan with the "utmost dedication and passionate determination".
He said that he had done so to always keep the country's "flag high", adding that he had always worn the Star and Crescent on his chest with pride.
Akhtar played 47 Tests, 163 ODIS and 15 T20Is for Pakistan in his career. During his time in international cricket, the pacer took 444 wickets in total.
