That is so true..I am sure one of Ervine, Williams or PJ would get injured right before the series. We lose our best players before major tournaments, and come up with a medicore squad. :(

FORMER Zimbabwe Under-19 all rounder Ryan Burl’s dream of playing against India in the forthcoming ODI and T20 series has been shattered by a knee injury suffered at yesterday’s training session at Queens Sport Club in Bulawayo.According to witnesses, Burl was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital where doctors attended to him and put his left knee into a plaster. It could not be established yesterday how long he will be out of action.

“They were playing touch rugby as it was fitness training for them. It seems he twisted his knee while running with the ball and everyone gathered around him as the medics attended to his knee before an ambulance was called to take him to hospital,” said a witness.

Efforts to get an update from Zimbabwe Cricket spokesman Lovemore Banda, who also accompanied Burl to hospital, were fruitless as he was not taking any calls.
