National Test team captain Azhar Ali fever suffers

Perth: The captain of the touring Australia Test team has a fever and sore throat that has caused him to sit out the tour match against the Cricket Australia XI.

Imam-ul-Haq and Abid Ali started the innings in this match at Waka Ground Perth. Shaun Masood, who played as opener in the last practice match, came in for the third time this time. The series of failures was too lengthy for only two runs.

The good news for Pakistan is to fully fit wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, who after resting on the thumb, decided to take the rest of the cricketer's fitness to the field after reviewing it before the match against Australia.
