Under-19 teams kicked out of stadium to welcome VIPs

GUJRANWALA: Karachi and Sialkot under-19 teams were kicked out of Jinnah Stadium on Tuesday to allow a helicopter carrying Senator Sirdar Zulfiqar Khosa, police IG Habibur Rehman and Chief Secretary Nasir Khosa to land.

They are in town to discuss security arrangements for Ashura. The match was called off after the Karachi team had batted.

The players protested saying that it was unfair that they were made to leave even though the match had been scheduled weeks ago.
