Indian pacer Ashish Nehra in danger of being ruled out of final of ICC World Cup 2011
Indian medium pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashish-Nehra-c46293 is in danger of missing out on the final of the ICC World Cup 2011 due to a fractured finger.
India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820.
Nehra sustained the injury during the second semi-final of the tournament against Pakistan when he was trying to catch the ball which was fiercely struck by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 off the bowling of Yuvraj Singh. He got hold of the ball before the replays showed
that the ball had just bounced in front of his hands. It was a good effort by the left arm seamer who is not known for his fielding skills but he did damage his finger badly in the process.
Manager of the India cricket team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ranjib-Biswal-c83999 confirmed the news and said that Nehra went through a scan early on Thursday which showed that the middle finger of his right hand was fractured. “Nehra has a fractured finger, which was revealed from the scans
taken this morning,” Biswal said.
The finger injury did not stop the left arm seamer to bowl his full quota of 10 overs as the injury was luckily on his right hand, which is his non-bowling arm.
However, it is not confirmed if Nehra will play the final or not as the ultimate decision will be made by the India team management on Friday.
His selection for Wednesday’s game was quite surprising as majority of the cricket analysts all around the world felt that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ravichandran-Ashwin-c84208 was a much better option, considering his recent performances in the ICC World Cup 2011.
However, India captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 innings.
The 31-year-old medium pacer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 want to play a fast
bowler in the final then they also have http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shanthakumaran-Sreesanth-c89725 in their squad.
