Manzoor for NZ Tests

Pakistan’s team selectors included the opener Khurram Manzoor, who is in form now, as the 15th member of the Test team in the tour of New Zealand. Khurram Manzoor has hit a great century for Pakistan 'A' team on their recent tour of the West Indies. The chief selector Mohsin Khan said they have brought in Manzoor after his good performance in the series against the West Indies. Manzoor, who started his sports career, first faced Sri Lanka in Karachi last year, and so far played seven Tests, scoring 326 with 3 fifties.

He said he was unlucky to be overlooked despite scoring a brilliant 77 in his last Test, against Australia in January. Pak play 3 T20 games, 2 Tests and 6 ODIs on their tour of New Zealand. A separate T20 team was also announced earlier this week, while the ODI team will be announced later.
