Moin Khan recovering fast

Karachi, Aug 29: Pakistan captain Moin Khan on Tuesday said he was on course to regain complete fitness in the next 10 days. During a training session at the National Stadium, the wicket-keeper said his knees were responding very well to the strain he has put on them during the last few weeks.

He said he would increase the workload on them from Wednesday so that the exact picture emerges. "I have been informing Dale Naylor (physiotherapist) about my day-to-day training. He seems pretty happy.

"He has advised some additional exercises to strengthen the knee muscles. Amongst some of the notable exercises are swimming and ups and downs," the wicket-keeper said.

Moin said the cancellation of the Toronto series would give him some more time to recover. He said the more time he got, the better he would be when he returns to national duty.

Commenting on the team's performance in Singapore, the skipper said it was satisfactory. He argued that reduction in the overs created a disadvantage for the team. "Pakistan had to bowl with fielding restrictions while South Africa only had to defend the circle in only 10 overs."

Moin agreed with stand-in skipper Waqar Younis saying the youngsters have to respond quickly to what they are taught.
