Players from arch-rivals Pakistan and India have once again come together in the same team.

 

Pakistani pacer Mohammad Abbas and Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan have come together to play for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship.

 

Ishan Kishan is making his County debut, having signed a short-term two-match deal with Nottinghamshire. Mohammad Abbas, meanwhile, continues his consistent run in county cricket. Previously, Mohammad Rizwan and Cheteshwar Pujara had also played together for Sussex, creating headlines for their unique pairing.

 

More Indian and Pakistani players may be seen together later this season. Ruturaj Gaikwad is expected to join Yorkshire in July, while Abdullah Shafique is likely to arrive later due to visa delays.

 

The current Nottinghamshire XI includes Haseeb Hameed (captain), Ben Slater, Freddie McCann, Joe Clarke, Jack Haynes, Ishan Kishan, Lyndon James, Liam Patterson-White, Farhan Ahmed, Dillon Pennington, and Mohammad Abbas.
