KARACHI, Dec 1: West Indian vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan was on Friday ruled out of the five-match one-day series against Pakistan after suffering a hairline fracture on his right foot.

“Sarwan was hit by a delivery from Pakistani fast bowler Umar Gul and the X-ray report shows a hairline fracture on the instep of his right foot which is now placed in a cast,” the West Indian media manager Imran Khan told reporters.

Pakistan and the West Indies play the first of five one-day matches in Rawalpindi on December 5. The 26-year-old Guyanese will fly back to the West Indies in the next couple of days, said Imran.—AFP
