England And Pakistan Build For T20 World Cup In Long-Awaited Series

Pakistan and England continue their build-up for next month's T20 World Cup in Australia when they begin a seven-match series in Karachi on Tuesday -- the tourists' first visit since 2005. The long-awaited return of England comes five months after a trouble-free tour by Australia, their first in 24 years, which helped Pakistan's rehabilitation as a safe place to play cricket. International cricket has gradually returned to Pakistan following years where they were forced to play home matches in neutral venues after a deadly attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in 2009.

Decoding the Mohammed Shami T20 jinx

It was puzzling that the pacer was selected for the T20Is vs Aus & SA, but was only among the reserves in the WC squad. Now, an untimely positive Covid test has ruled him out of the Australia T20Is...Mohammed Shami's T20 career seems to be seriously jinxed. He wasn't selected in the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup, but found a place in the two stage-rehearsal series at home against Australia and South Africa starting September 20. Given the injury track-record of Indian pacers, a few good performances in these games might have opened up a slot for the 32-year-old, who was in the reserves if something went wrong with the chosen quintet for the World Cup.
