KARACHI, May 19: Led by former Pakistan captain and batting icon Javed Miandad, the first batch of Pakistan All-Star team will be flying out to Miami en-route New York on Tuesday evening to feature in the MAQ Twenty20 cricket tournament being held there from May 21 to 23.

Shoaib Mohammad, manager-cum-coach of Pakistan’s All-Star team, said on Monday that due to delay in receipt of visa of some players, the second batch of players will leave on Wednesday.

Besides Pakistan All-Stars, West Indies, Canada and World XI will be taking part in the three-day competition.

Former West Indies captain Richie Richardson will lead the West Indies while ex-Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin will be the skipper of World XI.
