Vexed Super-Sub rule chucked out!

Sri Lanka Cricket agreed with PCB's proposal of doing away with the rule for their forthcoming ODI series starting from March 17.

According to a Pakistan Cricket Board release on Monday, its Lankan counterpart has agreed to the proposal of doing away with this rule.

"Sri Lanka Cricket has agreed to Pakistan Cricket Board's proposal for a gentlemen's agreement not to use super-subs during the forthcoming Sri Lanka-Pakistan One Day International Series," it said.

Pakistan plays three ODI matches in Colombo on March 17, 19 and 21 before playing Tests there (March 24-28) and in Kandy (April 1-5).
