Copenhagen (Danish: København) is the capital of Denmark, and the name of the municipality (Danish, kommune) in which it resides.
An even larger metropolitan region is known as the Danish Capital Region (Hovedstadsregionen), which consists of the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, and the counties of Copenhagen, Frederiksborg and Roskilde.
Although Denmark has been an associate member of the International Cricket Council since 1966, the sport is not taught much in schools, and Danishcricket competes unfavourably with the much more widely-followed sport of football for players, facilities, media attention and spectators.
The Pakistan team selected to tour India is the "weakest-ever" and resembles a club side, according to Mushtaq Mohammad who is rated as one of the shrewdest captains that the country has produced.
The team that visited England in 1978-79 under Wasim Bari was definitely weak but it was because of unavoidable reasons as there was ban on cricketers who had signed for Kerry Packer," Mushtaq said.
Adjudged Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1963, Mushtaq was the Pakistan captain on the ice-breaking 1978-79 series against India at home, the first cricket series between the two countries in nearly 18 years.
