guru, England team asked for it and i don’t see any problem with that being a practice match. I remember pakistan did the same thing on their practice match in Australia last year.

Thanks for the info on Zulqernain…

Iam not so sure about this recent trend of downgrading a properly arranged first class match into a practice match. Both sides have their own reasons and can justify it either way. In my opinion it was an opportunity for the domestic talent to show their potential in a proper match environment. First class matches have their own records and players are tuned in cause they know it matters. Now, its controlled by coaches sitting outside changing players according to their needs, its basically net practice.
