Pakistan, Australia training sessions canceled due to rain

Rawalpindi: The rain in Rawalpindi on Thursday kept both teams in their hotels and more rain is forecast for the last three days of the test match. The training sessions for both Pakistan and Australia have been canceled due to rain.

Both teams were scheduled to finalize their preparations for the first Test starting from March 04 at the Rawalpindi International Stadium.
