RAWALPINDI: Former Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq has offered a unique solution to enforce a result in the ongoing first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi, which is heading towards a draw after continous interruptions from rain and bad light. Sri Lanka’s first innings score currently stands on 282-6, after the day four was called off without a ball being bowled. While speaking in a Youtube video, Inzamam suggested that both Pakistan and Sri Lanka should forfeit their first and second innings respectively, which will leave Pakistan to chase a total of 283 to bring about a result. “Azhar Ali should offer Sri Lanka’s captain to declare their first innings for the score they have already posted and forfeit the second innings,” said Inzamam. “Pakistan should also declare their first innings for naught and then go on to chase Sri Lanka’s first innings total. This has happened only once when South African skipper Hansie Cronje offered the same situation to visiting England captain Nasser Hussain after Day 2, 3 and 4 of the fifth Centurion Test got washed out,” he added.
