Finn likely to join performance squad – Flower – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566 for the upcoming second Test but is hopeful of having the seamer fit for the remaining Test matches.
Finn sustained a thigh strain during the opening warm-up game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 A, and did not take part in the subsequent practice clashes as the management wanted him to fully recover ahead of the series’ opener at Ahmedabad.
However, with little bowling practice under his belt, the selectors decided to exclude him from the first Test as they wanted him to focus on his rehabilitation. His recovery hit another setback after he was ruled out of the upcoming Mumbai Test, following a scan, and he will undergo a few more tests to ascertain his fitness.
Flower further said that he is likely to join the performance squad, which arrived last night, in order to facilitate his recovery. The performance XI will play their first three-day game on the 27th and if deemed fit, he is likely to take part in the game.
"Finn unfortunately hurt that same area of his thigh and he's having a scan," Flower said. "We don't think there's any structural damage, we need to check. If there is not he will go and join our performance programme. He'll rehab with them and they've got a three-day game starting on the 27th which is the last day of this Test. Hopefully we can get him in that and test him out and if he comes through well he'll be available for the third Test."
Finn’s absence remains a major blow in the wake of the team’s performance in the opening Test. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625, both of whom shared a combined 7 scalps in the match.
It is believed that his extra pace will provide added options for the English contingent, which is further pondering over the inclusion of left-arm spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 bout, which begins from November 23.
