Nehra called up

Saturday, April 3 2004

Left-arm paceman Ashish Nehra has been called up by the Indian team management to join the squad in Lahore ahead of the second Test, as a cover for the injured Zaheer Khan.

Nehra, who was an original member of the one-day international squad for the Pakistan tour, split the webbing between his left thumb and forefinger during the second match, thus causing a return home.

However, Nehra's injury has healed, and he is all set to return to action.

Zaheer had injured his hamstring in the first Test, thus ruling him out of the second.

Zaheer had only just returned to the Indian side after a two-month lay-off with a similar injury, which he suffered during the tour of Australia.
