Babar suffered a fractured thumb during a practice session on Sunday andhas been ruled out of the T20I series while his participation in the firstTest is also in doubt.

Inzamam was not happy with the bowling coach’s statement and said that thisshows a sign of weakness and low morale, which can be exploited by NewZealand.

He added “when you admit something like this, it gives an edge to theopposition. I didn’t like this statement.”

Inzamam believes that Babar will not be fit to take part in the first Testas well. He said that the doctors have advised at least 12 days rest toBabar and the first test is scheduled to begin on 26th December, whichgives Babar only one day of practice. Coming back from a fractured thumband playing straight away won’t be possible.
