Pak-S Africa Test put off by one day
The first Test between South Africa and Pakistan will start today, a day later than its actual schedule. The match was delayed after two Pakistan players, Saqlain Mushtaq and Mohammed Akram, were hurt in a mugging incident outside the team's hotel in Northern Johannesburg on Wednesday night. The incident had left the Pakistani team with only 10 fit players, thus necessitating postponement of the Test's start.
