Umesh Yadav doubtful for 2nd Test, Ashok Dinda called up as cover

[Number]

Indian fast bowler Umesh Yadav was today rendered doubtful for the second cricket Test against England, starting Friday, due to a lower back problem. Yadav, who picked up four wickets in the first match in Ahemedabad, underwent a scan today and did not turn up for the practice session. Bengal paceman Ashok Dinda has been called as a cover for Yadav. Incidentally, Dinda was called up as cover for Ishant Sharma as well. Sharma was eventually ruled out of the first Test due to viral fever and Dinda returned back for Ranji duty after being released by the team management on the first day of the Ahmedabad Test. India are leading the four-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test by nine wickets. The second Test will be played at Wankhede Stadium here.

These young indian pacers are getting injured too easily it seems. They need a proper fitness-coach to look after them.

[carnish]

:facepalm: And we thought Zaheer was the one with fitness issues ... 4 tests in AUS, 2 against NZL, T20 WC .. ODI series in SRL and he is still going strong. Hats Off to him.

Ishant may be given preference as he is already in squad! And playing 3 spinners can be risky if you loose the toss and track is not rank turner!
