Zimbabwe have suffered a blow with the news that Hamilton Masakadza has been ruled out of action for at least six weeks after injuring his finger in training.

Masakadza tore his finger ligament in a fielding session last week. The injury rules him out of the whole tour by Sri Lanka A to Zimbabwe. There is a 50-50 chance of him making it on time for West Indies' ODI tour. It has now been confirmed that Sri Lanka A will play two four-day matches and two one day matches against the full Zimbabwe side.

Meanwhile, the recuperating Sean Williams is almost set to make a return against the Sri Lankan fringes. Williams is now training fully with the rest of the Zimbabwe side, giving a boost to coach Robin Brown, who asked his players to play positive cricket when he took over from former Zimbabwe team-mate Kevin Curran.
