Rauf and Arun invited for camp

Published August 13, 2004

LAHORE, Aug 12: The selection committee of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has directed two more fast bowlers Abdul Rauf and Arun Lal to join training camp being organised at the Qadhaffi Stadium from Friday to Monday.

Rauf, who belongs to Okara district, is a lanky fast bowler and had successfully been playing in the domestic cricket for the last three seasons but had been ignored by the selectors.

Rauf and Arun have been included in the list of 16 players who had been called by the selectors to show future prospects to Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer. Those 18 players will attend the training camp with the 14-member Pakistan team for the three-nation tournament in Holland and the Champions Trophy in England. Woolmer was due to arrive late on Thursday night.
