Yousuf to undergo fitness test

Published April 11, 2008

FAISALABAD, April 10: Prolific middle-order batsman Mohammad Yousuf has to pass a fitness test before getting a place in the Pakistan team for the second ODI against Bangladesh at Iqbal Stadium here on Friday.

Yousuf was troubled by a knee problem during his match-winning innings in the first ODI at Lahore and there have been a few concerns about him being hundred percent fit.

Moreover, Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons was not happy over the floodlights problem in the first one-day match at Lahore but the PCB did not form any committee to probe into the lapse. — Sports Reporter
