Sarfraz Nawaz recalled
NZPA-Reuter Karachi The Pakistan pace bowler, Sarfraz Nawaz, who did not play in the recent home cricket internationals against India, has been named for a representative team to play New Zealand in its opening tour match. Haseeb Ahsan, the chairman of the Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan (8.C.C.P.) selection committee, said Sarfaraz would play for the president’s XI in a three-day game starting in Rawalpindi today. Sarfraz, a controversial figure in Pakistan cricket for many years, returned
too late from a match in the West Indies to attend a training session before the tests and one-day fixtures against India, and was not considered. The former Pakistan captain, Javed Miandad, will lead the President’s side, for whom the test skipper, Zaheer Abbas, is not playing but is expected to lead his country in the three-test series. • The test opener, Mohsin Khan, captains the Punjab Governor’s XI named for a three-day match against the New Zealanders starting in Bahawalpur on December 4.
