It is incredibly rare for any first round match on the humble challenger or future tours to generate enough attention to warrant the tournament organisers planning its exact date and time in advance.

Temporary Australian T20 captain Josh Inglis says it’s unfair to label his side for Thursday night’s T20 clash with Pakistan at the Gabba as a “B” line-up as he urged the hosts to “forget about” their poor performances in the one-day international series between the teams.
