SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
It’s not just the Pakistani players who are facing injury problems in the wake of ICC World Cup 2015 but one of the favourites and defending champions India would also have to resolve fitness problems of four of its cricketers before the commencement of the mega event.
Key batsman Rohit Sharma is facing hamstring injury while fast bowler Ishant Sharma hurt his knee during the recently concluded ODI tri-series. Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar injured his ankle and last but not the least all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is experiencing shoulder pain yet again.
All four players are set to appear for their fitness tests on February 7 before the Indian selectors would decide their fate.
The star-studded side has been in deep waters ever since landing in Australia last year. They only lost Test series to the Aussies but could not perform up to the expectations in the One-Day Internationals against the hosts and the visiting English team.
The tournament kick starts on February 14 followed by an all important Pakistan-India clash on the very next day.
