Haris Sohail suffers an injury, may return home

Karachi: Pakistan's Test batsman Haris Sohail
has suffered a shoulder injury in Sri Lanka and
could be recalled home. Chief selector Haroon
Rasheed told PTI that the team management
has not yet decided to send Sohail back to
Pakistan.

"He suffered a nasty fall on his shoulder during
practice but the management is currently having
him examined by the best doctors and will
decide soon whether he will remain with the
team or return home," the former Test batsman
said.

Sohail, a southpaw, has been a consistent
performer in Tests and One-day Internationals
since last year but didn't get a chance to play in
the first Test against Sri Lanka, which Pakistan
won comfortably last week at Galle.

Sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board said that
doctors have advised Sohail at least two weeks
of rest to recover from the injury but the
selectors are yet to decide whether to call him
back or retain him for the ODI series in Sri
Lanka.

If my captain asks me to die on the field, I’ll do it: R Ashwin sp:d:lol

Ashwin said he would not want to blame just one department -- batting or bowling -- for the failure of the entire team.

Ravichandran Ashwin has said that the team is standing strongly behind beleaguered skipper MS Dhoni and there is no change in the dressing room atmosphere despite the visitors losing their first-ever ODI series to Bangladesh.

India lost the first two ODIs of the ongoing three-match series to allow Bangladesh take an unassailable 2-0 lead and captain Dhoni received a lot of flak.

“If you don’t go behind your leader (now) then when will you? So as far as I am concerned it’s like an army, if you don’t go behind your leader then you are definitely going to get shot.

Well said. Ups and downs are a part of life. Pakistan lost all matches while visiting Bangladesh.
The main reason is that Indians are not used too this situation and has not seen these bowlers often. I can assure that this is not going to happen again in nearby future. Indians will bounce back soon. But Team india should require some rest in-between the series and also should arrange IPL in such a manner that Overdose of cricket wont spoil the beautiful game.
