Pakistan will be without the talented left-arm seamer Mohammad Aamer as they go into the second cricket Test against Australia hoping to level the series.

 

In the absence of Aamer, who took a maiden five-for in Melbourne Pakistan is expected to field Mohammad Sami.

 

Speaking to a reputed cricket website, team Manager Abdur Raquib said, "He has a groin injury and though it doesn't appear serious, we decided not to risk him for the Test."

 

"He had a bowl and the on-tour selection committee decided to leave him out," Raquib said.

 

Among others, leg-spinner Danish Kaneria and pacer Umar Gul are set to replace offie Saeed Ajmal and seamer Abdur Rauf.
