In the much-awaited upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, Pakistan did an indoor net session in Napier for an optional training on Friday, as rain disrupted outdoor practice. Despite the weather setback, captain Mohammad Rizwan led the charge, focusing on sharpening the skills of his squad for the opening match, scheduled for Saturday.
