The match has the gracious support of Cricket Tasmania, who will host the match at Blundstone Arena on the evening of January 28 from 7pm.
The third Fayyaz Sumbal Cup in Lahore on Saturday was the biggest day in the Foundation’s two year history. In brilliant conditions at the historic Lahore Gymkhana Club, the Gymkhana XI were victorious in a hugely entertaining game.
Led by a magnificent 63 from Pakistan women’s vice-captain Bismah Maroof, the Australian XI posted 184 from their 30 overs, with international representative Udnan Akmal chipping in with some handy runs in the lower order.
But a Gymkhana side featuring former Pakistan skipper Salim Malik were not to be outdone,
We’ve had a massive weekend, with Perth’s first ever Fayyaz Sumbal Cup, and the third running of the event in Lahore.
Over in Perth, the Pakistani Community XI were triumphant over the Australian Federal Police XI at McLean Oval, Floreat.
Batting first, the Pakistani Community XI notched up 183, with their captain top scoring with a brilliant 98.
In response, the AFP came up short, with the players blaming old hamstrings for the deficit.
This Sunday 15th of November is the first Fayyaz Sumbal Social Cup in Perth.
A Pakistani Community XI will take on an AFP XI in what is sure to be great contest. The game will coincide with our signature event, the 3rd Fayyaz Sumbal Cup in Lahore.
The match will be held at McLean Oval, Floreat, Perth starting at 12.30pm.
A BBQ will be provided and families are welcome.
If you are in Perth this weekend be sure to head to McLean Oval and check out some community cricket!

The match brings together some of Pakistan’s biggest cricketing names and members of the diplomatic community in a spirit of friendly competition for a very noble cause.
First held in 2013, the game is named after Deputy Inspector General Fayyaz Sumbal,
The year has gone by quickly and it’s important for all of us to take to time to reflect and time to prepare for the glorious upcoming Australian summer and Pakistani winter. Somewhat fittingly, we are proud to announce the major dates for our 2015/16 campaign.

As the crack of ball on bat echoes around stadiums in the United Arab Emirates, where Pakistan has inflicted all manner of misery on Australia, the Gymkhana Club in Lahore is getting ready to stage a game of cricket that will be every bit as meaningful for the people involved.
This is not international cricket – that hasn’t happened in Pakistan since terrorists opened fire on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009. But former Pakistan batsman Ijaz Ahmed and out-of-favour wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal are among the confirmed starters and the cause has captured the attention and support of Australian cricketers.
After Pakistan’s compelling win against Australia in the second Test in Abu Dhabi this week, the traditional sporting foes will come together next weekend for a very different type of cricket match.
Some of the biggest stars of Pakistan cricket will join on Saturday, 8th Nov 2014 with Australians at the Gymkhana Club in Lahore for a special charity game. The second annual Fayyaz Sumbal Cup will raise money for the families of Pakistani police officers killed in the line of duty.
