Sharjah fixtures scrambled

Port Elizabeth: South Africa?s second Sharjah tournament includes an interesting omission in the three-cornered contest from March 22 to 31 which also involving India and Pakistan.

In what appears to be an oversight by the organisers South Africa play only one game against Pakistan. As there is a four-day gap between the South Africa game against India and the final, no doubt the second outing will be slotted into one of those dates.

The Sharjah tournament comes after South Africa?s tour of India with the first game between South Africa and India followed by India?s game against Pakistan on March 23. The Pakistan game against South Africa is the next day with March 26 set aside for the second India-Pakistan outing followed by the second India and South Africa game.

After which there is a relaxing four days to the final, and at which point the second game between South Africa and Pakistan will be played.
