News excerpt from The CRICKETER magazine.
Imran Khan will lead a Pakistan team on their tour of England
during the second half of the English summer. Zaheer Abbas is
vice-captain. The team is :
Batsmen : Zaheer Abbas
Majid Khan
Moshin Khan
Javed Miandad
Salim Malik
Haroon Rashid
Mansoor Akhtar
Fast Bowlers : Imran Khan
Sarfraz Nawaz
Sikander Bakht
Tahir Naqqash
Spinners : Iqbal Qasim
Abdul Qadir
All rounders : Mudassar Nazar
Wasim Raja
Wicket-keeper : Wasim Bari
A few interesting "trivia" about the team: Imran Khan, who has
taken 158 wickets in Tests, takes over captaincy from Javed
Miandad whose reign involved much politicking and controversy.
Everyone of the sixteen touring members have played Test cricket
before. All except three have played in England. Majid Khan
will presumably double as a back-up wicket-keeper.
