The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) have confirmed that Pakistan will take part in the Super Challenge 2 series, with matches scheduled for 12, 15 and 19 June. It follows the original Super Challenge series against South Africa two years ago, which attracted almost 100,000 spectators and a television audience of five million. The first two matches will be played under the roof at Melbourne's Colonial Stadium, with the third taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane. Before then, Pakistan will be taking part in the triangular Sharjah Cup competition and a home series against New Zealand. Pakistan Cricket Board President Lt General Tauqir Zia told BBC Sports Online that the squad for Australia may include some new faces. "Abdur Razzaq will be playing in the English county season and some other players might not be available then, so we will have to announce a different team for the competition." He said Super Challenge II will be played on a reciprocal basis and Pakistan will have the right to invite Australia for a similar series in the future. "Obviously, we want to invite Australians at a time when we would be able to cash in the opportunity to the maximum extent". | See also: Internet links: The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Other top Cricket stories: Links to more Cricket stories are at the foot of the page. | ||
