Moeen, a devout Muslim, first performed umrah in November 2009

"I have to receive a proper report from my experts," Clarke said.
"But speaking as a non-expert, I was deeply impressed by the size of the investment, and the passion of everyone I've met from the chief minister downwards, the desire and determination to see international cricket return to Lahore was absolutely there.
It is a goal of the ICC that every Full Member plays international bilateral cricket in their own country.
But for us to do that, we need everyone to be safe and secure." .
