Shin pain rules Harbhajan out of Ranji fixture - Cricket News Update
An injury to Harbhajan Singh’s shin bone has ruled him out of the Ranji Trophy clash between Punjab and Railways to be played at Mohali on Tuesday, November 29, 2011.
Following the shin injury, the discarded Indian off spinner has been advised rest by the physio. In his absence, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Uday-Kaul-c94549 will lead Punjab in the Elite division match against Railways.
The 31-year-old Punjab bowler has been struggling with his form, and since the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 earlier this year, he has not made an Indian squad since their away Test series against England this summer,
where he failed to impress with the ball in the first Test at Lord’s, before sustaining an abdominal strain during second Test of the four match series.
The abdominal strain forced Bhaji to return home in the midst of the tour, and the offie has never been picked in the national side since then. He missed the five-match home ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 before being overlooked for the ongoing home series against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 as well.
Recently, the turbanator has been overlooked by the Indian selectors for next month’s crucial tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 following his poor form.
After being overlooked for International assignments, the Punjab off spinner returned to the domestic circuit where he is captaining the Punjab side in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. The turbanator also did not have an impressive run in Punjab’s last three Ranji
Trophy outings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taruwar-Sushil-Kohli-c92862 will replace the once star but today’s beleaguered Bhaji in Punjab’s squad for Tuesday’s game against Railways.
In Tuesday’s game, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ravi-Inder-Singh-c2291 will replace Kanwar, while Harmeet Bansal will be in for Sharma.
Punjab have so far played three http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 games in the ongoing season, with one win, one loss and a draw and have six points in their account. They managed a draw against UP in their first Elite division clash of the season before going on to register an eight
wicket win over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Orissa-c828.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Railways-c836 on the other hand have three points from three outings and are yet to win their first game of the season.
