As Pakistan and India prepare to renew their age old rivalry on the field of cricket with a limited over series beginning on 25 December, they will not only be watched and cheered on by thousands of fans at the stadia, but also by a select group of distinguished individuals who have served Pakistani cricket with honour and dedication.Referred to simply as “legends”, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to send a delegation of 10 of Pakistan’s most famous and well known cricketers from a bygone era to represent Pakistan on an official capacity where they will undoubtedly join their counterparts from India in witnessing the resumption of Indo Pak cricketing ties.

Pakistan's injury concerns increased ahead of the limited overs internationals tour of India after Asad Shafiq damaged a finger whilst playing for the Karachi Dolphins in domestic cricket. With the first match against their arch rivals less then three weeks away, left arm spinner Raza Hasan was yesterday ruled out of the series after sustaining a back injury. Today there was further bad news for the selectors when batsman Asad Shafiq suffered a finger injury whilst taking part in the ongoing Faysal Bank T20 Cup in Lahore.

Pakistan's left arm spinner Raza Hasan has been ruled out of the upcoming tour of India. The 20 year-old from Sialkot has featured in only 2 matches for the Stallions in the ongoing Faysal Bank T20 tournament in Lahore taking 1/15 against Islamabad and 0/5 in 3 overs against Quetta.Hasan who has played seven T20Is for Pakistan and greatly impressed in the World T20 earlier this year in Sri Lanka with his variety and control, sustained the injury after twisting his ankle and putting pressure on his back, causing damage to a disc.
