Not sure why there is nothing about this on the Club website or anywhere in UK based publications:

Not sure how this helps develop cricket worldwide. Pakistan is already a major cricket playing country. I would have thought a tie in with a minor country (in terms of cricket playing) would be better. Looks to me as if this is more a business opportunity given the massive Pakistan origin citizens in Birmingham.

Im terms of cricketing development for our young players, surely a link with a side in Australia, South Africa or New Zealand would be more productive, and give better opportunities?

I remember we used to have an exchange scheme with Transvaal a few years ago which worked well.
