I have informed the Pakistan board that my injury was aggravated two days ago and it will take another four to five weeks to heal up,
I have acute pain in my right shoulder which is very stiff. I could have played by taking pain killer injections but it is risky and I have decided to take the rest.
The doctors advised me six weeks rest after I bruised my ankle during the test series but I played in pain for four games.
The conditions are different,
They`re going to have to rely on the reverse swing to get people out. I think it`s going to be a tough series.
They`ll find a different atmosphere, less bounce, good pitches for batting and it`s going to be hard work for the fast bowlers.
The doctors have advised me to rest for two weeks to recover from the problem,
We played very well against England and won comprehensively. We are working hard as a team and are all looking forward to the series against India.
It gets your blood going, the adrenaline is pumping, you`re in a fight. To me, that`s what test cricket is all about.
were keen that he should be hundred percent fit and totally committed to the team.
