Moin available for Singapore series

Karachi, Aug 1: Pakistan captain Moin Khan has confirmed his availability for the triangular one-day series in Singapore later this month.

Talking to mediamen, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Lt Gen Tauqir Zia, however, added that he would again have a discussion with the wicketkeeper before deciding whether he should be allowed to take a risk by plying in the competition. Moin is currently in England for his knee treatment.

The general added that vice-captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Saqlain Mushtaq would not be available.

The PCB chairman said Moin would return from England on Aug 5 and that he confirmed his availability a couple of days ago.

He added that Wasim Akram has expressed his willingness to play in the five-match series against India at Toronto and then in the three-match one-day series against England at home.
