Akhtar doubtful for 2nd ODI

Tuesday, January 6 2004

Pakistani speedster Shoaib Akhtar is most likely to miss the 2nd one-day international against New Zealand in Queenstown on Wednesday due to a persistant groin problem.

Akhtar will undergo a scan prior to the match, most probably on Tuesday, to assess the injury.

Akhtar missed the 1st match of the series too, which Pakistan lost by 4 wickets. He also missed the 1st Test Match of the tour due to a hamstring problem. However, he returned for the 2nd Test Match, and that too with a bang picking up a total of 11 wickets, as Pakistan won the series.
