Fan-less affair, but South Africa’s tour a win for Pakistan
Proteas arriving in Pakistan for two Tests, three T20Is will help attract the likes of Australia to visit too
KARACHI:
The last time South Africa played any form of cricket in Pakistan, Inzamamul Haq, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf formed the formidable middle-order for the Men in Green. Kamran Akmal and Muhammad Hafeez were the openers in Tests and Imran Nazir was slogging at the top of the order in the ODIs, and believe it or not Shoaib Malik was the captain in both formats.
If you look at the bowling department, Muhammad Asif, Umar Gul, Sohail Tanvir and Iftikhar Anjum were the first-choice bowlers across both formats, while the now-banned leg-spinner Danish Kaneria was serving the role that Yasir Shah serves these days.
