ISLAMABAD, Aug 6: Pakistan will have to play against India in the Sahara Cup in Canada and the three one-dayers at home next month without their first choice skipper Wasim Akram, who has been ruled out of the game for the rest of the year due to a shoulder problem.Akram has informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that he was advised a full rest for at least four months by the surgeon who operated on him, according to reports available here.The left-arm speedster is expected to return to top-flight cricket early next year when Pakistan embark on a tour to South Africa for a Test series and a quadrangular one-day tournament.Akram, who was suffering from a shoulder injury for quite some time, underwent surgery twice this summer in England and consequently missed the Independence Cup in India and the Asia Cup at Colombo apart from skipping most of his English county engagements.
