Pakistan did not include Haris Rauf in his team for the Asia Cup Group and against India on Sunday, September 14 at the International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. The rapid pitch also was also missing in Pakistan’s 93-run victory over Oman earlier at the Dubai tournament and was again omitted at a meeting with a high share against India.

When Rauf is missing, Pakistan will rely on Shaheen Shah Afridi as a single specialist of a quick pitch, along with the versatile Fahe Ashraf. The team kept their attack on Spin with Mohammad Nawaz, Sufiyan Muqe and Mohammad Nawaz, while Saim Ayub will serve as a bowling option for part -time.
Before Pakistan Pakistan Captain Salman Agha expressed confidence and said that the team acclimatized the conditions and was well prepared to perform in the match strongly.
“We played a good cricket, very excited. It looks like a slow goal. We just want to burn first and put the runs on board. The same side. There were 20 odd days and are used to the conditions,” Salman said after Pakistan won the throwing and decided to bat first.
In front of the Asian Cup, Rauf performed only in two games during the three-series UAE, where he took four goals, including a remarkable four-border raid raid. He was also effective against India and demanded seven goals in five matches at an economic rate of 8.15.
As far as Pakistan is concerned, they are currently second in the Group Points table and with a net running rate of +4.650. The team has been trying to end the 13 -year -old drought and first win the Asia Cup since 2012, when they defeated Bangladesh.
