Dawn Inzamam and Waqar beef up NBP
19 September 2001

Pakistan captain Waqar Younis and vice-captain Inzamam-ul-Haq will represent National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) in the Patron's Trophy first-class competition starting Sept 21.

The two have agreed to play for NBP after being convinced by old pal Mushtaq Ahmad who will skipper the side.

A NBP spokesman confirmed the participation of the two players, adding that it would be a great honour for the establishment.

"We were approached by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) if we could accommodate Waqar Younis and Inzamam-ul-Haq. The matter was taken to the highest authorities who gave the thumbs up," the spokesman said.

Waqar and Inzamam are without any departments. However, it was not immediately known at what financial package the two players will represent NBP.

Squad: Mushtaq Ahmad (captain), Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Imran Nazir, Sajid Ali, Shahid Anwar, Mohammad Javed, Akhtar Sarfraz, Mohammad Sami, Shabbir Ahmed, Kamran Akmal, Hanif-ur-Rehman (wicketkeeper), Imran Javed, Naeem Tayyab, Qaisar Abbas, Naumanullah, Aleem Moosa, Athar Laiq, Khalid Latif, Salman Butt, Aurangzeb Khan, Zafar Iqbal, Naeem Khan.

Mohammad Jamil (manager) and Saeed Azad (coach) will be officials of the team.
