Shoaib might skip rest of county season

KARACHI, MAY 22. Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar might have to skip the rest of the English cricket county season as his rib cage injury has reportedly gone from bad to worse.

According to The News, Shoaib, who is appearing for Durham, has been advised by his doctors in London to rest before undergoing another examination.

``I have been advised up to two weeks rest right now by the doctors after they had a second bone scan of my injury. There is a definite stress fracture in my rib on my lower left side. I will have another examination after the rest period and let us see how it goes,'' the paper quoted him as saying on Friday.

He admitted that the injury was causing a lot of discomfort. Though Shoaib didn't elaborate over his chances of playing in the country, sources close to him said that he had already informed the Durham county management that they should start looking for a replacement for him for the rest of the season. — ANI
