Asia XI vs Rest of the World XI - Houston (June 2005)

Entertainment Cricket and Other Sports
1

A three-match series is planned in Houston between Asia XI and Rest of the World XI. The ad was repeatedly shown during Pak vs India series coverage on Dish Network. Reportedly Afridi and Sehwag will open, with Youhanna, Malik and Yuvraj already confirmed.

The most I found is in Khabrain newspaper, which is as follows:

Are there more details available anywhere? Any website? Any travel agents who may book a whole package (air, hotel and game tickets)? Any Houston folks have more info?

Oh man, it is good to read Urdu in a paper after so many months. :D

Now, for once, I want Akhtar on this tour, no matter what happens. Leave his personal issues aside, since this is friendly series, the people here will be delighted to see World's fastest bowler in-action.

Does anyone know that they will show free matches on TV? (Dish Network)

^ yeah, I stopped reading at that. A newspaper that can't differentiate between a state and a city shouldn't be read or quoted.

yaar, roz kapray dhota hoon, ladoo sabun sey. yeh to meri number one speciality hai.

aur mein free is liyey keh raha hoon because since it is in the States, we might as well get it for free, rather than paying $300 or so for it.

Crooks at dishnetwork will still charge even it is being played in US.

Bah, I have the same feeling. Still hoping for free match coverage through one of their International channels.

The reason for posting this was to get more information... may be a website by the promoters. They were advertising pretty heavily during Pak-Ind series, on Dish Network, so I am assuming Dish will carry this as well, though I am a bit surprised they haven't gotten a well-publicized website already up and running. If this actually pans out, I will also be in Houston, maybe just for the game on 18th.

^ India Pakistan series was not publicized on DN either. They won't show it unless some international sports network like TEN Sports or ESPN buys the rights and sells to KBS. I don't think that DN or Kelly broadcasting are in business of providing technical coverage.
