Pakistan-India match rained off

Tuesday's game had been keenly anticipated by both sets of supporters

The one-day international between India and Pakistan in Glasgow was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Play was due to start at 1030 BST, but with the outfield soaked by the recent downpours, the umpires ruled out any action just before 1430 BST. It meant the anticipated sell-out crowd of 5,000 was left disappointed. The match, set up by the Prince of Wales, had been expected to raise over 2.5m for charities in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the UK. Organisers said the India and Pakistan crickets boards hoped to reschedule the match. "I have spoken to both boards and they have committed to explore a way in which this match could take place at some point in the future," Manoj Badale, chairman of the British Asian Trust, said.

"I'm disappointed, of course I am, but these things are an occupational hazard

Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith

"As yet we don't have a date for that but both boards recognise that their fans around the world have been excited about this and will find a way of making this game happen again." Pakistan's first game of their two-match tour, against Scotland in Edinburgh on Sunday, was also abandoned because of rain without a ball being bowled.

"I'm disappointed, of course I am, but these things are an occupational hazard I'm afraid when you are involved with cricket in Scotland," said Cricket Scotland chief executive Roddy Smith. "We can't do anything about it."
