Travelling to Poland 🇵🇱 for the Polish International Badminton tournament. Travelling alone in these unforseen circumstances (COVID-19) is a huge risk. However, if I am to represent Pakistan in the Olympics 2021, I must avail this opportunity. Do pray that I make Pakistan proud. pic.twitter.com/R2qG513xIZ
