ISLAMABAD: Australian fast bowler Aaron Summers will become the first foreign player to play in revamped Pakistan domestic cricket when he represents Southern Punjab in the Pakistan Cup One-Day Tournament in Karachi next month. Summers is scheduled to arrive in Lahore on Monday for a week-long training camp at the National High-Performance Center before joining Southern Punjab at Karachi. The Pakistan Cricket Board’s domestic competition rules allow one foreign player per side. “Pakistan is a breeding ground for the fast bowlers,” Summers said Saturday in a statement issued by the PCB. “While I look forward to developing as a quality fast bowler,” he said, “I am equally keen to help my side [perform] strongly in the Pakistan Cup.”PCB’s High-Performance Director Nadeem Khan said the cricket board wanted to attract foreign players to Pakistan domestic cricket.
