:haha:nervous:Hope their security personnel check the extra balls when the umpires bring the box for a ball change. Taliban could just replace ball with a grenade and bowlers may then unkowingly hurl it a 150 kph at batters :--D Pakistan team is taking a big risk here because if they loose to this World XI , the Taliban might just change their target in frustration and shoot at Pakistan bus instead , so its a pressure match yeah :hysterical:

ICC wants World XI name to be changed http://cricketnext.in.com/live/news/icc-wants-world-xi-name-to-be-changed/68516-13.html

The International Cricket Council has told the Pakistan Cricket Board that a team comprising of international players cannot call itself a World XI in Karachi this weekend. ICC spokesman Samiul Hasan told The Associated Press in a text message that it "doesn't permit the names of World or World XI for exhibition matches" and a letter was sent to the PCB on Wednesday. Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya will lead players from West Indies, South Africa and Afghanistan against a Pakistan All Stars side in exhibition matches on Saturday and Sunday, the first major international cricket in the country in more than three years. The PCB has allowed its centrally contracted players to play in the matches organized by a provincial sports minister.
