KARACHI: Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider, who made an impressive debut in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, is a doubtful starter for the third match starting at the Oval next week due to a finger injury.
Pakistan manager Yawar Saeed confirmed from England that Zulqarnain had suffered a hairline fracture in one of his fingers while playing in the match.
"We don't know how serious the injury is right now but we will have him checked up in London by a specialist to find out if he can play or not," Yawar said.
Pakistan has already lost pacer Umar Gul, who has been ruled out of the series due to a hamstring injury which he picked up during the second Test in Birmingham.
