SHARJAH (UAE), Oct 12: Pakistan already beleaguered team suffered another blow when all-rounder Abdul Razzaq was ruled out for six weeks after his wrist X-ray revealed transverse fracture of left styloid.

Razzaq was struck by a Brett Lee thunderbolt in Pakistan’s second innings when he ducked into a short-pitched delivery.

On Friday wicket-keeper Rashid Latif was incapacitated by a hamstring injury which forced the team management to ask Taufiq Umer to don the gloves.

Rashid came in to bat Saturday with a runner but lasted few balls and was out for a duck.

It is also reported that even skipper Waqar Younis is not fully fit and was doubtful for the third and final Test.

Whether he will be fully fit for the Test starting from Oct 19 is anybody’s guess considering the past experience of Pakistani players who are unfit one day and then declared by themselves or the team doctors unfit during the Test match.

Although there has been no official confirmation of sending replacements but it is reported that the tour management had asked for Yousuf Youhana and might possibly also request for all-rounder Shahid Afridi to replace opener Imran Nazir and middle order batsman Misbah-ul-Haq as they were fully exposed in the two Tests despite ideal batting conditions.
