Naswar banned during Pakistan, Afghanistan ODI in Sharjah

Sharjah: Sharjah Cricket Administration has restricted spectators from carrying Naswar in the ground as Pakistan and Afghanistan cricket teams are all set to lock the horns in One Day International here on Friday.

Officials said that the decision to ban Naswar was taken as part of cleansing measures. However, several Pakistanis  living in the gulf state are unpleasant over the decision.

Team Afghanistan is playing its first ever ODI with a team having Test-status.
