SOMERSET are preparing to welcome Pakistan to the Cooper Associates County Ground at Taunton where they play a three-day game starting on Sunday, July 3, writes Richard Walsh.

The day before that, however, the Pakistan squad will be hosting a free junior cricket fun session at the ground between 12:40pm to 2pm, which is open to all under 19s. To attend simply register your details by logging onto the SCCC website.

Those not taking part in the session are welcome to watch the fun and games. Supporters can also stay to watch the Pakistan team take part in their official training session after the junior fun event has finished.
