This is professionalism.
This is a country whose head of state has been a sportsman.
Footballer said that she feels embarrassed by the facilities provided to athletes in the country. However, she believes if only Pakistan starts looking after it's athletes there will be a dramatic improvement in the plight of sports in the country.
I have never felt as disrespected for serving this country as I have in the last couple of days.

I have always said this and I'll say it again, the day this country starts giving back to its athletes - it'll be a whole new ball game.#nationalgames2019
