Raval getting his eye in

Cricket: Opener Jeet Raval has the chance for some solid test preparation in New Zealand A’s final tour match against Pakistan A in Abu Dhabi.

At the halfway point of the fourday fixture, New Zealand A was 141 for two, replying to Pakistan’s 427 for eight declared.

Raval, captaining New Zealand A and who is expected to open the innings when the test series against Pakistan starts at the same location on November 16, is on 67 off 132 balls, with Rachin Ravindra on eight. — RNZ
