Warm-Up Match Gives India Game-Time And Injury Headache
India's three-day tie against County Select XI, their sole warm-up game in the lead-up to the five-match series against England, ended in a draw but added to their problems after pace bowler Avesh Khan, who is a standby, got injured on the first day and looks likely to be ruled out of the tour.
The Indian pace bowler, who was representing County Select XI after the English board could not assemble a playing XI and had to ask for players from Indian camp, was hurt on his thumb by a shot from Hanuma Vihari on the first day. The Board is yet to confirm his availability but it seems that the thumb injury may not heal in time for the Test matches.
