More than 400 boys turned up for the district under-16 cricket trials in Karachi on Sunday morning, many of them with kit bags borrowed from older brothers.

Coaches split players into groups of twelve. Batters faced six balls each from two bowlers, and bowlers bowled two overs at a single stump.

Parents were asked to stay outside the boundary rope, which, one coach admitted, was the hardest rule to enforce.
