Manzoor helps Pakistan ‘A’ draw Test

Opener scores 104 and 84 in the match against West Indies.

Khurram Manzoor maintained his supreme form in the second innings to help Pakistan ‘A’ draw the first unofficial Test against West Indies ‘A’ on the final day in Kingstown.

Trailing the hosts by 96 after the first-innings, Pakistan batted for almost 120 overs in the second-innings and owed much to the opener Manzoor who scored 85 after a 211-ball century in the first-innings.

Pakistan captain Faisal Iqbal, all-rounder Yasir Arafat and leg-spinner Yasir Shah provided great support to the opener, ensuring Pakistan bat out the overs for the draw in the first match.
