Watch: Massive locust swarm interrupts Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match in Karachi

The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy has struggled to attract cricket fans this season despite getting a face-lift but Monday's round seven fixture between Sindh and Northern managed to draw thousands of bodies to the National Stadium in Karachi.

The unexpected visitors just weren't cricket fans though.

The match had to be interrupted briefly when a locust swarm showed up while the Northern were batting.

The swarm was large enough that the players had to stop playing and cover their eyes and ears in a bid to avoid contact with the insects.
