Fast bowler, Mohammad Abbas picked up three wickets on a rain-hit opening day of Pakistan’s two-day warm up match at Providence yesterday.
The intra-squad match saw Pakistan ‘A’ closing on 110 for four after 41 overs despite two sessions lost to rain.
Rain was consistent for the better part of three hours, turning the ground into a pool-like environment, but the Providence Stadium lived up to its reputation as arguably the fastest drying ground in the Caribbean and with sharp work from the groundskeepers, within 40 minutes of the rain stopping, play was possible.
