Enamul doubtful for second Test

Published April 16, 2006

CHITTAGONG (Bangladesh), April 15: Bangladesh have called up uncapped spinner Abdur Razzak with Enamul Haque rated as doubtful starter for the second Test against Australia.

“Enamul is doubtful to play in the second Test as he got an injury in his spin fingers,” Bangladesh skipper Habibul Bashar told journalists on Saturday.

Left-arm spinner Enamul was complaining of pain in his fingers from the second innings of the first Test, Bashar said.

“The injury has deteriorated, but we will wait until the last minute to accommodate him. However, we have brought in Abdur Razzak to replace Enamul if needed,” the skipper said.
