Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq is one of the dignitaries who have been shortlisted to attend a presidential reception to be hosted by Pervez Musharraf in honour of American President George W. Bush.The reception will be held in Islamabad on Saturday, and Inzamam, along with vice-captain Younis Khan and Salman Butt, has been sounded about the function. "Inzamam, Younis and Salman have been shortlisted as three of the hundreds of dignitaries who will or are being extended invitations for the presidential reception," a highly placed source said. Inzamam also confirmed that he has been told to be ready for a formal invitation. "Yes, I have been advised to be ready for Saturday's presidential reception," he said. Inzamam is Pakistan's most experienced current cricketer with 107 Test and 356 one-day international caps. Flamboyant Shahid Afridi and hard-hitting Abdul Razzaq were also considered for the reception but due to their engagements in the ongoing Twenty20 Cup, their names were dropped. In a pre-South Asian tour briefing in Washington, Bush had said to a question that he was a "cricket match person". "I'm a cricket match person. As I understand it, I may have a little chance to learn something about cricket. It's a great pastime," he had said. Bush is a die-hard sports fan and is also a former owner of a Texas Rangers baseball team. in-depth coverage > India-Pakistan Series 2006 > |
