Moin returns from England

Karachi, Aug 3: Pakistan captain Moin Khan returned home late Wednesday morning from London after undergoing knee treatment. The pugnacious wicketkeeper, however, said he would join the training camp, currently under progress at the National Stadium, from Monday.

He said former Pakistan team physiotherapist, Dale Naylor, who supervized his exercises in England, has advised him one week complete rest. He said Naylor has allowed him to resume light training from Monday.

Moin said he was regularly receiving injections as the specialist, Dr David Rees, decided against knee surgery. He said he was given the last injection three days ago with two more to follow, which he will get in the next 10 days.

The skipper said he has made himself available for the Singapore tour but added that until he was satisfied with his fitness, he would not like to risk his injury.

"Let me resume the camp on Monday and check my knee. I will inform the board and the selectors about his fitness level before they sit to finalize the team," he said.

The Pakistan team for the Singapore triangular will be announced on Aug 10. South Africa and New Zealand are the other participating teams in the competition.
