Not a fan of opening and closing ceremonies.... specially for an event that is held every year. They should have national anthem... A team's parade and then start the games.

Derulo's a good one. Can't imagine what songs he'll be performing though...
-

Abida Parveen!! Interesting choice of artists. Atif Aslam or Rahat might have been a better choice, as most of the fans are young. First time, I've heard of Jason Derulo so can't say his too popular. Zayn Malik or Rihanna would have been a better choice.

Another cringeworthy opening ceremony coming up.
Three suggestions to make it palatable:
1. No speeches at all - especially by Najam Sethi
2. No eye candy anchors. Get professionals or just do announcements in the background
3. Start on time and finish on time. Preferably in 90 minutes.

All I’m saying is that it could be better. If we want this to be an international event then we really need to improve it.
At the state it is right now it really is bad. I don’t mind it being cringey, just when they’re unprossional and mess things up is when I have a problem.
