Mansoor, Shahid included

Published September 9, 2005

LAHORE, Sept 8:Leg-spinner Mansoor Amjad and medium-pacer Shahid Nazir have been included in the Pakistan “A” team in place of Imran Tahir and Muhammad Asif.

The “A” team is to play a home series against Australia “A” from Sept 11.

Australia are scheduled to arrive in Pakistan late on Thursday night to play two Four-day and three One-day matches from Sept 11.

A PCB spokesman said that Mansoor replaced Imran, who had been injured in a road accident.

Asif was to join the Faisalabad Wolves in Leicester, England to participate in the International Twenty20 Club championship 2005-06, so Shahid will represent the country in the home series.
