LONDON: Pakistan would be playing a couple of one-day matches against West Indies A this weekend at Shenley intsead of a two-day game as planned earlier, a Pakistan team official said on Friday.
Team manager Zaheer Abbas told this correspondent that the two teams have agreed to play two 50-over an inning games so that both of them get a better opportunity of providing their batsmen and bowlers with proper practice from the two-day outing beginning from today (Saturday).
He said that the change was brought on the request of the Pakistan team management. Zaheer said that it has also been agreed that there would be no restriction on the number of overs bowled by a bowler in the two matches. Normally, in a one-game a bowler can have a maximum of ten overs in an innings.
Zaheer said that Pakistan’s comeback star Shoaib Akhtar would benefit from the agreement. Shoaib would be playing a game for Pakistan for the first time since the Karachi Test against India in January this year.
