Pakistan "forced" to play, consider the source
The Mirror is claiming Pakistan was forced to play the Zimbabwe match under pressure from the PCB. Seems Inzy did not want to play so soon after Woolmer's death. "It took a late-night telephone call to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and threats of severe penalties for Inzamam and the players to finally relent," a source close to the team revealed. It's in The Mirror, so make of it what you like. I for one, would not have faulted them if they choose to stay off and forfeit the match.
