Multan

Pakistan had a dismal home international cricket season, but over the last five weeks stadiums in four major cities were packed with thousands of spectators to witness a quality brand of modern-day Twenty20 cricket.

An overturned oil tanker has burst into flames in Pakistan after a person tried to light a cigarette nearby, killing at least 123 people who had rushed to the scene of the highway accident to gather leaking fuel, an official says.

About 80 people were injured, with many suffering serious burns.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif may appoint Lieutenant General Ishfaq Nadeem Ahmed as the country's next Army chief.
