The World XI involved players from six-countries — Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Argeneina, New Zealand and Spain. Pakistan's eminent striker Sohail Abbas, who was named chief of the World XI, remained away for reasons best known to him. A large portion of the meeting players were veterans with numerous quills in their tops.
The World XI was hollowed against a youthful Pakistan under-18 equip who, in spite of losing the Karachi coordinate 1-5, set up a fearless execution in the second match at Lahore to hold the accomplished World XI to a three-all draw.
