Fast bowler Umar Gul may return home to make a complete recovery following the recurrence of his back problem. Gul, who missed the first Test at the Ferozeshah Kotla, underwent MRI scans to assess the extent of damage and check on the possibility of taking any further part in this series.
However, post the medical reports, the Pakistan think-tank has kept him under observation for a week, and according to sources, even contemplating to ask for a replacement. PCB chairman of selectors Salahuddin Ahmed is present with the team and have already placed pacer Rao Iftikhar Anjum, who went back at the end of the ODIs, on standby.
Meanwhile, Misbah-ul-Haq didn8217;t take the field during India8217;s innings following mild fever and sore throat. He did resume batting Friday morning and was run out after adding 11 runs.
A date for dinner
New delhi: Indian and many Pakistani team players were invited to dinner at BCCI president Sharad Pawar8217;s house this evening. Sunil Gavaskar was also present. No formal discussion was held and because other members of the coach selection panel Ravi Shastri and S Venkatraghavan were not present, no coach issue came up either. There is the possibility that another interim cricket manager will be named for the Australia tour.
