Pakistan cricketers found a creative way to keep themselves entertained when their outdoor training session in Rawalpindi got rained out on Monday.

Instead of idling away, Abrar Ahmed, Zaman Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, and Imad Wasim took to the hotel lobby for an impromptu game of indoor cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a video capturing the fun moment.

With weather forecasts predicting continued rainfall in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the upcoming five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, set to commence on April 18, could be affected, especially the initial three games scheduled for April 18, 20, and 21 in Rawalpindi.

According to current AccuWeather reports, the probability of rain on Thursday stands at 25%, rising significantly to 86% on Saturday, and then dropping to 40% on Sunday. These forecasts highlight the looming challenge of weather disruptions during the series.
