AUCKLAND (Dunya News) – Pakistan have on Wednesday begun training sessions in Auckland ahead of their three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series against hosts New Zealand starting from December 18.



The players participated in batting, bowling and fielding drills. Pakistan skipper Shadab Khan – who will lead the Green Shirts in the T20I series as Babar Azam was ruled out due to injury – took part in net practice.
