TROUBLED fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar put yet another return to international cricket in doubt after failing to appear for a fitness test because he said his mother was ill.
"He was supposed to appear at the (fitness) trials in Lahore this week, but he informed us that his mother was ill and he could not come," interim chief selector Wasim Bari said. "We provided Akhtar an opportunity because we have to ensure he is fit for international cricket." Pakistan trails Sri Lanka 0-2 in the three-test series, with the third match starting in Colombo on July 20.
