The first ODI in a five-match series between Pakistan and the West Indies was washed out without a ball being bowled on Tuesday.

Heavy rains continued to bucket down in Rawalpindi forcing umpires Daryl Harper and Aleem Dar to call the match off.

Pakistani captain Inzamam Ul Haq is eligible to play the next game in Faisalabad on Thursday. His four-match ban for his role in the Brit Oval drama back in August is now over.

Windies skipper Brian Lara told Cricinfo, "The weather wasn't great but we have to move on," he said. "The focus is now on the second match as the series moves on."
