(Dunya News) – Rain is likely to hamper the first game of the four-match T20I series between Pakistan and England at Leeds on May 22 (Wednesday).

The Britain’s Met Office has forecast 60% chances of rain in Leeds, stating that the rain will continue till 12 midnight.

Reports said the players could face trouble during fielding due to higher commodity ratio in the air.

The men’s national selection committee has recalled fast bowler Haris Rauf, along with all-rounders Hasan Ali and Salman Ali Agha, in the 18-player squad for the England series. The two cricketers who did not make the cut from the original 17-player squad that faced New Zealand are wrist spinner Usama Mir and fast bowler Zaman Khan.
