Injured Sami may miss second Test

Mohammad Sami has suffered a groin strain that is likely to keep him out of Pakistan's second Test against Sri Lanka, beginning on October 28. The injury prevented him from taking the field on the fourth day of play in the ongoing first Test.

"Sami has badly strained his inner groin muscle and he needs at least seven to eight days to fully recover," said Haroon Rashid, Pakistan's team manager. "Any decision on calling up a replacement for Sami would be taken after the first Test finishes."
