Selectors decide against a replacement for injured Nasir Jamshed – Cricket News Update
Chief selector of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Jamshed-c78752 for the T20 series against Sri Lanka. However, the former Test cricketer
hinted that a player may take http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-c78728’s place in the One Day International (ODI) squad.
Qasim feels that there is no such need to send in an additional player for just a two-match series, which is going to start from June 1, 2012. The former left-arm spinner expressed that the selection committee will decide about the
replacement for the ODI series after the T20 matches.
"We've decided against naming Jamshed's replacement for the Twenty20s. There are enough options in the squad for the short series. We might name a replacement for the ODIs," Qasim said.
Nasir fractured his figure during a club match in Lahore last week and as a result, has been ruled out of the Sri Lankan tour.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nadeem-Sarwar-c78422, PCB’s General Manager Media, officially stated last week, "He is out of action due to his finger injury. He picked up the fracture during a club match last week and wasn't able to join the camp. His doctor has advised
a four to six weeks rest and hence ruled out of the entire http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 series. There is no immediate replacement called to cover up him."
The left-handed batsman impressed one and all during the Asia Cup 2012, where he scored a magnificent century against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in a crunch match. Nasir made his debut in 2008 but failed to cement his place in the national team as he
struggled with form and fitness. However, after his brilliant showings in the Asia Cup and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 Premier League (BPL), cricket analysts are predicting a bright future for him.
His absence is surely going to hamper Pakistan’s progress in Sri Lanka, where the new ball does tend to move off the pitch. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 during the ODI
