"Hello Pakistan, Greg Chappell here. I am looking forward to returning to Pakistan after some time; I am hearing so many good things about the changes in the country. I believe the new Prime Minister (Imran Khan) is doing a very good job. I'm very excited to hear that cricket is coming back to Pakistan."

"I'm looking forward to visiting some PSL games when I am there. I am looking forward to catching up with Imran Khan if that's possible and some of my other cricket friends in the country and even exploring some business opportunities while I am there. I am very excited about getting the opportunity to meet the Governor of Punjab as well and many other people while I am in Pakistan."

Its good that ex Aussie players are also coming especially Greg Chappel as both he and his brother a pretty vocal and blunt so his comments will be their post the visit which will be noticed in cricket Australia as well.

Aussie players Chris Lynn, Ben Cutting, Shane Watson, Ben Dunk and Fawad Ahmed are already in Pakistan playing PSL. While Slater and Nannes are in commentary panel.

Want his brother to come !

PS. They only going because they are getting paid + FIRST CLASS flights + 5 star hotel + daily allowances
 
We need someone like Warne to visit. He can’t stand a second in the sub continent unless he’s getting paid $$$ for it

Greg was in Pakistan in 2017 for "Game on hai".

Not many people in the world would do anything for free so why would anyone blame them for this?
 
He is welcome to commentate but please keep him away from any coaching job
 
I don't think its anything significant. He hardly has any say in Australian cricket now.
 
PCB spending the rupees to get Ambrose, Taufel and now Greg Chappell in Pakistan.

I hope it's all worth it in the end.

Great pictures. Word of mouth is the most important when it comes to changing perceptions.

That is true. You need to have friends at the right places.

Reason why IND is viewed so good in the US is because of all IND at higher positions.
 
Chris Lynn in a recent interview said the words of Watson, Cutting, Dunk, and Chappell eased all his family's fears about him coming to Pakistan.
