PCB's fitness tests for probables

Saeed Anwar, Naved Latif and Rana Navidul Hasan did not appear before the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) panel of doctors for their medical test held at the Gaddafi Stadium Monday.

PCB is conducting the medical tests of 13 probables out of 30 who are included in the World Cup list announced last month. The remaining 17 members of the list are included in the Pakistan team currently on the South African tour.

Those who will pass the test will be considered for the selection in the World Cup team.

Besides the three probables, the panel has also called for Shoaib Malik, Imran Farhat and Abdur Rauf for the test and they appeared.

Saeed, Rana Navid and Lateef had family's problems and requested the panel to defer their test, a member of the panel Dr Meesaq Rizvi said.

The panel has now called them on Wednesday along with Danish Kaneria and Imran Nazir.

Former Test captain, Moin Khan, all-rounder Azhar Mahmood, Yasir Arafat, Shadab Kabir and Fazle Akbar will appear before the panel on Tuesday.

Meesaq said that the result of Shoaib, Imran and Rauf was not compiled so far, but the way they did the exercises and running they appeared fit.
