Pak undecided on playing Gul

Gul,one of Pakistans most experienced bowlers,picked up the injury during the second Test at Edgbaston and has been advised rest for three to four weeks. But Yawar said the pace bowler had made a rapid recovery from his injury and would undergo fresh fitness tests and MRI scans.

He has started bowling in the nets as well and is quite desperate to play in the fourth Test. But we have to be 100 per cent sure he is completely fit as he is a key member for the one-day series as well, he said.

Incidentally,Wahab Riaz,who debuted at The Oval as a replacement for Gul,made a big impact taking five wickets in the first innings and captain Salman Butt has admitted Gul wasnt guaranteed a place in the starting line-up for the final Test even if he was fit. Wahab has bowled well in his debut Test and he troubled all the batsmen,so we will have to see how it goes. But it will certainly be a hard choice for us between the two, Butt said.
