KARACHI :New Zealand settled for a draw in the opening test against Pakistan after bad light halted their victory charge in an entertaining final session at the National Stadium on Friday.
Harry Brook continued his remarkable series to rebuild England's innings with his third century in as many Tests after Pakistan had the visitors pinned down on the second day of the final match in Karachi on Sunday.
Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022 where Pakistan will face India in their opening match, members of the Babar Azam-led team engaged in a fun competition in Brisbane, Australia. Pakistan team mentor Matthew Hayden gave a throw challenge to fast bowling duo Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Naseem Shah. Hayden offered Wasim and Shah a hundred dollars wach if he was able to throw the ball 'over the top of the stadium'. Wasim said that he was confident that he could throw the ball out of the stadium. However, he was not able to do so.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) selectors named a 15-member squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup on Thursday. They included young left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is currently recovering from injury, in the squad. Shaheen, 22, injured his knee while fielding during the first Test in Sri Lanka in July and missed the Asia Cup earlier this month. The lanky left-arm paceman will also miss the seven-match T20I series against England starting in Karachi from September 20 but chief selector Mohammad Wasim said his injury is being monitored. "We are assessing Shaheen's injury and hope that he will be fit," Wasim said in a press conference in Lahore.
Pakistan team dealt with another blow ahead of the clash against India as their fast bowler Mohammad Wasim has been ruled out of the T20 Asia Cup due to a left side strain, Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Friday. "He had picked up the injury while bowling in Pakistan's practice session on Wednesday. The bowler was assessed by the team medical staff, and an MRI scan in Dubai confirmed the diagnosis. The medical team will closely monitor Wasim's rehabilitation and his return to competitive cricket will be reassessed before the England tour to Pakistan," the PCB statement read.
Captain Babar Azam and fast bowler Naseem Shah starred as Pakistan edged the Netherlands by just nine runs in the third and final one-day international in Rotterdam on Sunday. The Netherlands were all out for 197 in the last over in which they had needed 14 runs for a first-ever victory over Pakistan. Tight bowling had restricted Pakistan to 206 all out with captain Azam top scoring with 91. In reply, Tom Cooper (62) and Vikramjit Singh (50) top scored for the Dutch but teenage fast bowler Shah, with 5-33, proved key as Pakistan swept the series 3-0.
Pakistan have added extra ammunition to their fast bowling attack after dropping out-of-form seamer Hasan Ali from their squad for the Asia Cup, which will be held in the UAE later this month.
