  • November-December
    PCB Highlights 1 November – 31 December 3rd Edition PCB brings Test cricket back to Pakistan The purist and most traditional format of the gentleman’s game returned to Pakistan after more than 10 years when Sri Lanka played the ICC World Test Championship fixtures in Rawalpindi and Karachi in December. For this team to put the March 2009 tragedy behind it and return twice in a space of three months was a strong and powerful statement to the world about their confidence and trust in Pakistan’s security agencies and the support to the Pakistan Cricket Board in its efforts and endeavours for the complete and uninterrupted restoration of international cricket in the country. The Sri Lanka cricket team was excellent – both on and off the field – and returned home not only after making more friends and followers than ever, but also after proving to be outstanding ambassadors of their country. They were gracious in defeat and generous in praising the hospitality and security offered to them during their Test tour. “Now I do regret not coming for the shorter formats. At that time it was a really hard decision to take because I had heard and read lots of things about Pakistan on news and social media - not positive things. But the guys who came here before gave really good comments and that’s why all the seniors decided to go and play a good Test series. Now I think I should have come and played the one-dayers,” Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne said. “I can say that for me it feels really safe.

  • Billings the Main Man on Day One for the Lions
    England Lions captain Sam Billings before the toss. Photo: Getty Images Nov 18, 2018 15:25 GMT Billings The Main Man On Day One For The Lions SCORECARD England Lions captain Sam Billings made 74 on day one of the 'Test' versus Pakistan A as his side reached 240 before Mark Wood and Jamie Overton took a wicket apiece to reduce the hosts to 33-2 at the close. Billings won the toss and chose to bat in Abu Dhabi. The Middlesex duo of Nick Gubbins and Max Holden opened up for the Lions, as part of a batting line-up with no shortage of attacking talent. Also on display was young Pakistan seamer Shaheen Afridi - fresh from making waves in white-ball cricket at international level - and he was soon in on the action, dismissing Holden. Gubbins (20), Ollie Pope (0) and Joe Clarke (0) fell to leave the score on 58-4 before Jason Roy (59) and Billings put on 51 for the fifth wicket. Both Roy and Billings are keen to prove their red-ball credentials on this tour and this represented a strong start for the pair of them. Billings continued in the company of Dom Bess (42) and he would remain unbeaten, with 22 from Mark Wood helping the Lions to 240. Pakistan will resume on 33-2 at 10am local time tomorrow, 6am GMT.
