Yousuf fit for third Test

Published November 29, 2005

LAHORE, Nov 28: Mohammad Yousuf, the experienced Pakistan batsman, will play the third Test against England as the scan report failed to detect anything wrong with his troubled shoulder. “I had scan of my shoulder but so far I am not aware about the actual problem,” Yousuf said on Monday.

“I have no problem when batting. But I feel pain when I throw the ball,” he said.

Yousuf, who was forced to return home before the start of the Test series in the West Indies earlier this year for similar problem, was troubled by a painful left shoulder during the first Test in Multan and was advised for scan.

Meanwhile, the PCB team management has suggested that the scan report should be sent to South Africa to determine the actual problem with Yousuf’s shoulder.

However, the PCB relied on its medical commission, which is likely to give its final report about the injury on Tuesday.
