With Brett Lee now injured with a fractured thumb will the selectors replace him in the squad with Harris or even Bollinger?

Phew, either of them would suffice, I'd even prefer to see Merv Hughes in there.

No replacemen, he may even play in the last match for Punjab and then over to the West Indies

Pakistan allrounder Yasir Arafat has been ruled out of the ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies later this month due to a calf injury, the captain Shahid Afridi has confirmed. Arafat, the world's most successful Twenty20 bowler with 90 wickets, was anyway in doubt when the training camp began in Lahore last week.

Brett Lee, the Kings XI Punjab fast bowler, will miss the rest of the IPL and return to Australia after breaking his right thumb during the victory against Mumbai Indians on April 9. The latest setback jeopardises Lee's participation in the upcoming World Twenty20 tournament.

For our sake now and int he furture, we are better if he does not recover and they take Harris over to the West Indies

Defending champions Pakistan suffered a major blow less than a fortnight from the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean when Umar Gul and Yasir Arafat were both officially ruled out of the tournament, having failed to recover sufficiently from injuries picked up in the ongoing training camp.

Pakistan's captain, coach and chief selector were forced to backtrack on their choices for replacing injured players in the squad for the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean. A day after the trio said Mohammad Sami and Mohammad Irfan had been approved as replacements for Umar Gul and Yasir Arafat - without the approval of the PCB chairman Ijaz Butt - the board announced that Sami and Abdur Rehman, the left-arm spinner, will now be the replacements instead

Pakistan's cricket administration continue to be a shambles

He which would of been a huge weapon for India, especially against Australia. He always seems to put the Aussies on the back foot from when he begins his innings.

Oh no, pretty much gaurantee's him a berth.

Brett Lee's injury dramas have continued with the Australia Twenty20 cricket team requesting a replacement after the paceman suffered a muscle strain in his forearm.

It's expected that either Indian Premier League All-Star XI team member Doug Bollinger or in-form Queensland quick Ryan Harris will be rushed into the squad for the World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies starting this weekend.

Lee took 1-13 in Australia's shock one-run loss to Zimbabwe in a warm up match in St Lucia but felt pain after his bowling stint and later had MRI scans.

A team spokesman said the injury wasn't related to Lee's recent elbow surgery which wiped out his summer and led him to retire from Tests.
