Shoaib Malik ruled out of third Test
New Delhi: Shoaib Malik has been ruled out of the third and the final Test match against India, scheduled to be played in Bangalore from December 8-12.
The Pakistani skipper, who also missed the second Test match in Kolkata hasn’t recovered yet from his ankle injury.
He had twisted his ankled during the team’s training session in New Delhi, after Pakistan’s loss to India in the first Test match.
Shoaib has been instructed by a surgeon in Bangalore to rest for another five days, while, Younis Khan who led the team to a remarkable draw in Kolkata, will stand in as captain again.
Pakistan need a win in this Test match to square the three-match series, that India is leading 1-0.
It’s amazing how the pakistani cricketers injure themselves so easily..
