Akhtar in doubt for Eng tour
Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has been told he cannot bowl for three weeks and his selection for the tour of England rests on the recommendation of a medical commission, a senior Pakistan board official said on Tuesday.
Akhtar is struggling to recover from an ankle injury after having undergone a knee operation in Australia in February.
Director of Cricket Operations Saleem Altaf conceded it did not appear possible for Shoaib to recover in time to play from the start of the tour this month end.
