Misbah and Rehman to miss Canada match due to injury

Abdur Rehman, the left-arm spinner, has been ruled out of Pakistan's next World Cup match against Canada on Thursday after suffering a leg injury. Misbah-ul-Haq has also picked up a minor hamstring strain but isn't too much of a concern.

Rehman took 1 for 63 in Pakistan's 11-run victory against Sri Lanka on Saturday but now requires a five-day break. "Rehman sprained his leg while fielding in the match against Sri Lanka and had to put on a strapping in order to bowl. It's an adductor muscle rupture," Intikhab Alam, the Pakistan manager, told AFP. "We don't want to risk Rehman and will wait for him to recover."

Rehman's absence is likely to mean a chance for offspinner Saeed Ajmal who has yet to play a match in the competition. The other bowlers in the squad who didn't play against Sri Lanka were the left-arm pace duo of Wabah Riaz and Junaid Khan.

Although Misbah's problem isn't considered a major worry he may still be rested for the Canada game with the opposition unlikely to cause an in-form Pakistan too many problems. Misbah hit 83 off 91 balls against Sri Lanka to continue his strong start to the tournament after he made 65 against Kenya.

If Misbah does miss out and Pakistan retain the same balance to their team Asad Shafiq, the 25-year-old batsman, is the other option in the squad.

Misbah-ul-Haq doubtful in Canada's match. Asad Shafiq might get a chance to play.

Sehwag heads to Delhi to consult doctor

Virender Sehwag, the India opener, has left Bangalore for Delhi, where he is going to see a doctor about a minor rib problem. Sehwag was hit in the ribs during a training session in the lead-up to the match against England but played the game on Sunday.

"He is going to see a personal physician and is expected on Wednesday," Ranjib Biswal, the India team manager, said. "There is no major concern as such, but it seems he doesn't want to take a chance."

Biswal also said Sehwag had "a niggle in his shoulder" that was preventing him from bowling his offbreaks in the matches.

Sehwag aside, the rest of the Indian squad remained in Bangalore after their match against England even though their next game is only on March 6, against Ireland.
