The Pakistani wrestler Inam Butt requested his followers to pray for him as he departed the nation to compete in the Commonwealth Games 2022, which are set to take place in Birmingham from July 28 to August 8.

Butt sent a photo from the airport to Twitter and asked for prayers.

“Travelling to United Kingdom for Commonwealth Games 2022. Remember in your prayers,” he wrote.
