Karachi, May 05: Pakistani pacer Umar Gul, who was ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies due to shoulder injury, has been advised complete rest for three weeks.
“The doctors have given me three weeks complete bed rest so I am not playing cricket at all. But I am definitely following the progress of my team in the World Cup,” Gul said.
He had picked up the injury during team’s training camp in Lahore for World Cup preparations.
Gul has been Pakistan’s leading bowler in the shortest form of the game and many former players and the present captain and coach have admitted his loss to the injury as a big setback for the team in the world cup.
“It is a big disappointment not to be part of this World Cup because I like the challenge of bowling in T20 cricket.
