Injury-hit Pakistan suffer Malik blow

INJURY-HIT Pakistan suffered a fresh blow when coach Bob Woolmer said opening batsman Shoaib Malik was doubtful for the entire Test series against England.

Malik was omitted from the ongoing first Test at Lord’s with an elbow injury, which Pakistan had hoped an operation two months ago would cure.

However, Woolmer — following the second day of the series yesterday — said: “Shoaib Malik is doubtful for the whole series. His injury is not reacting to injections and he might not make it for the Tests.”
