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.
