LAHORE, Oct 4: The PCB on Tuesday announced squads of Lahore Shalimar, Lahore Ravi, Hyderabad, Abbottabad and Quetta Regions for the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy and the Inter-region under-19 tournament.

The Lahore Shalimar squad for the Quaid Trophy Gold League mainly features players who did not play in the Inter-district senior tournament. For example, the team will be led by Junaid Zia, who did not play in the district event.

One glaring omission is former Test wicket-keeper Humayun Farhat, who played four matches in the district tournament and was one of the highest scorers. He was surprisingly placed in the reserves’ list.

Salman Qadir, son of the leg-spinning legend Abdul Qadir, who was also one of the Lahore selectors, has been named as vice-captain of Lahore Ravi squad.
