Pakistan U-16 team leaves for Australia series

The Pakistan Under-16 cricket team on Sunday night left here for Dubai to take on Australia Under-16 in a series of five 50-over-a-side matches and one Twenty20 fixture at the ICC Academy. The series will start with the first 50-over match on Wednesday, January 9 and culminate with the T20 game on Sunday, January 20. This is Australia's return visit after Pakistan had toured Melbourne in April 2018. Australia had clinched the five-match series 3-2, while Pakistan had won the one-off T20 game by seven wickets.
The Pakistan side will be led by Umer Eman, the Lahore-born left-handed batsman and leg-spinner, who, along with Aaliyan Mehmood, Rizwan Mehmood, Samir Saqib, had also toured Australia last year.
This series is part of the PCB's planning and strategy to provide maximum opportunities and exposure to the budding teenage cricketers in the build up to the next ICC U19 Cricket World Cup, which will be held in South Africa in 2020.
