KARACHI: Test discard Umar Amin on Tuesday cracked his career-best 236 not out to help Port Qasim Authority post 539-3 in their first innings against Habib Bank Limited (HBL) on the second day of their four-day, last round match of the President’s Trophy Grade-I at the Diamond Club Ground in Islamabad.
