England’s team net practice in Pindi Stadium
By Our Sports Correspondent
RAWALPINDI—Visiting England cricket team was involved in strenuous
practice and net session that lasted for more than three hours in Pindi
cricket stadium on Thursday.
Under the able Captain Micheal Vaughan, England team held net practice
and training session.
All the English players were involved in different kinds of exercises
under coach and manager.
Meanwhile security arrangements were top class as law enforcement
agencies were on their toes and were not allowing entry of any
suspicious person in the stadium.
Online adds: Due to traditional inability of PCB, various journalists
were deprived of Media Accreditation Cards for the formal coverage of
England cricket team.
It must be mentioned that journalists were not allowed to enter the
Pindi stadium where the English players were busy practicing for three
straight hours on Thursday morning as police did not allow them and
stopped them on the gate. They demanded for Accreditation Cards but they
did not have them.
After a long conversation with the authorities and showing their cards
of their respective organizations, they were then allowed to enter the
stadium.
After the sorry incident, journalists in large number have severely
protested over the intolerable incident, as it was not supportive
demanding from PCB Chairman Shahriyar Khan to give them good facilities
for the coverage of the mega series.
They were of the view that Accreditation Cards were the main cause of
the attitude of the police deployed at the gate and this must not be
repeated as such incidents can cause bad impression on the visiting
team.
