According to Yasin Malik they played a cricket match in one of the quake-affected areas. During the match Imran Khan bowled to Yasin Malik while film stars and singers played as fielders. Yasin Malik said that he had met Imran Khan in Islamabad and had jointly addressed a press conference, talking about their plans to spend Eid and some days with the quake affectees.
