Injury Woes raise question about management - Cricket News Update
Ahead of the third nPower Test match against England, team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379 and Harbhajan Singh.
The Men in Blue have paid a heavy price for not having their players 100 percent fit for the important tour in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, which has seen them lose the first two tests by comprehensive margins.
When this issue was raised in front of team manager, Anirudh Chaudhry, he commented, “It is the job of the medical staff. It examines the player concerned carefully. Only if the physio is absolutely sure (that the player can take the rigors of the game),
he gives the green signal.”
India has been down to 3 bowlers in both the Test matches. While Zaheer Khan picked up a knock in the first innings of the first Test match, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 injury was even more mystifying.
It was fellow teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, who, during the third day of the second Test match, came out and revealed about the spinner’s injury, who was not being able to bowl due to an abdominal strain.
The injury concerns have raised a few eye brows at the Indian management, criticizing them for being under-prepared ahead of such a monumental series.
Many believed that the management should have rested players like Zaheer, if they believed that he was not match fit.
The top ranked side is on course of getting dethroned by the English contingent, if they fail to win the next match. If England wins the series by a margin of two, they will reach the summit and replace their opponents.
Unlike the visitors, the hosts have no such problems as they look on course to mount another tough battle. Although they have injury concerns over Chris Tremlett and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IJL-Trott-c1576, they have able deputies, which can easily fill the void left by the two
players.
It’s still more than a week in the start of the next Test match and hopefully by then, the Indian management will make sure that all their big guns are ready and firing.
They will be boosted by the return of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, who is expected to play but their main concern will be to make Zaheer fit for the decider at Birmingham.
