Imam ul Haq miss out as Saud Shakeel-led Pakistan Whites take on Pakistan Greens in 50-over practice match

The One Day practice match between Pakistan Whites and Pakistan Greens was called off at the UBL Sports Complex on Tuesday due to rain.

Umar Amin, captain of Pakistan Greens, won the toss and elected to bat first against the Saud Shakeel-led Pakistan Whites.

Pakistan Greens posted 264/5 in 39 overs, with Kamran Ghulam unbeaten on 78*. Sahibzada Farhan retired out after scoring 78 as well, whereas Mubasir Khan scored 32 runs.

Faisal Akram and Usman Qadir picked two wickets each for Whites.

In response, Whites were 10/0 after two overs when rain intervened and the match was eventually abandoned. 

Imam-ul-Haq was absent from the game due to experiencing nausea.

A second One Day practice match between the two sides is scheduled for tomorrow at the same venue.

The One-Day matches are part of the preparations for Pakistan Shaheens’ upcoming tour to Darwin, Australia, where they will engage in a series of red-ball and white-ball matches against Bangladesh A.

The tour itinerary includes two four-day matches against Bangladesh A scheduled from 19th to 22nd July and 26th to 29th July. Gillespie, who will oversee the Karachi camp, will also travel with the squad to Darwin, ensuring continuity in coaching and strategic planning.
