Who will travel to the UAE for the Pakistan Tests?
The new selection committee led Graeme Labrooy is expected..
Mathews has missed plenty of cricket throughout his career due to various injuries and will most probably miss the opening Test match against Pakistan which starts on September 28 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
“There is a minor strain on his calf muscle. We will take a final decision once the medical reports come in.” Cricket Manager cum Selector Asanka Gurusinha said to ThePapare.com
Mathews scored only 162 runs in 6 innings against India in the recent Test series but found some form during the ODIs mustering 2 half-centuries in 5 games.
The newly-appointed committee led Graeme Labrooy will announce the Test squad for the two-match series tomorrow (21st Wednesday) with the team expected to travel to UAE on Sunday.
