Hitman Rohit Sharma bowls over cricket fans as he takes to the field to feature in Emirates’ latest advertising campaign which will run during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup

Shaheen is now available for selection for the 17 and 19 October warm-up matches against England and Afghanistan, respectively during which his match fitness will be assessed by the team management.

The latest reports say that there will be 12 games played, all of them in Rawalpindi, with the final due to take place on March 18 2023, the day before the Pakistan Super League final.

Chasing a modest 117-run target, Pakistan bowlers kept Thailand batters in check as Thailand chased down the target on the penultimate ball of the match.

It will be played in a single-league format, with six sides in action, and the top four going through to the playoffs, and a final, on October 21. In all, there will be 19 matches in 16 days, featuring the best local talent as well as overseas players.

England’s victory in sixth match after two consecutive defeats has leveled the series 3-3 and effectively has turned Sunday’s encounter into a final before the two teams depart Down Under to finalise their preparations for the all-important ICC Men’s T20 World Cup – that commences on 16 October.

Rizwan's slow-burning consistency can lower Pakistan's ceiling, but it invariably raises the floor: consecutive innings of 88 off 67 and 63 off 46 have helped them scrape together enough runs to seal three and six-run victories.

Both Pakistan and England will play their fifth T20I amid strict security arrangements.

England are a strong batting line-up with a vulnerable bowling attack; Pakistan are a strong bowling team with a vulnerable batting line-up.

“I have always been a huge fan of Pakistan cricket as the players here have a huge natural ability and flair. I am really excited and look forward to working here with these players. In the few days that I have been here, I have seen a lot of talent and it is really all about harnessing the talent,” says Toby Radford
