Welcome Back to the West Indies - Pakistan Tour of West Indies 1998/9

Welcome Back to the West Indies - Pakistan Tour of West Indies 1998/9

I will be sending a Pakistan a on a Test tour of the West Indies in 1998/9 using the excellent Welcome Back to the West Indies set.

The tour in the guide for the set features 3, 4 and 5 day games against West Indies island and B teams.

The tour set also includes cards for roughly 16 to 17 players for each West Indies island team, balanced to compete with Test players from other nations.

I will be playing the full tour as suggested in the guide, with the addition of a handful of extra matches.
The tour in the guide is massive, rivalling olden day tours of England in scope, featuring 18 First Class games, and options for extra matches.

With this in mind, I selected as many players in my squad as I could get my hands on.

I based my squad on Pakistani international selections at the time, selecting all 31 players who were active at international level in the years preceding and after.

The squad looks balanced, and I'm happy with it, it will give me plenty of options for the tour matches in particular, which is what I want.
