Pakistan’s only ODI against hosts Scotland at Edinburgh has been ruined by heavy rain. This was the only warm up match for the Pakistanis before they meet arch rivals India day after tomorrow at Glasgow. While India has got tuned up playing a match against Ireland and then involved in a three ODI Series against South Africa in Ireland, Pakistan are yet to taste the cold conditions.

There was no chance of an inspection as rain just never gave away in the afternoon at Edinburgh. There was hope for some play early on, a possible 20-overs-per-side with only a wet outfield delaying the start. This match between Scotland and Pakistan might be having a full ODI status but unfortunately there was no television company covering the event live. Pakistan for these Scotland games have recalled senior cricketers Younis Khan and Shoaib Akhtar in their unit. Pakistan have started this new season with a 15-day military camp in Abbottabad. Pakistan after finishing the two ODIs in Scotland will be facing South Africa in a test series at home.

Pakistan ODI Squad : Imran Nazir, Salman Butt (Vice-Captain), Mohammad Yousuf, Younis Khan, Kamran Akmal (Wicket Keeper), Shoaib Malik (Captain), Yasir Hameed, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Sami, Umar Gul, Iftikhar Anjum, Mohammad Asif, Fawad Alam, Shoaib Akhtar
