Pietersen missed one day series against WI due to Injury

England batsman Kevin Pietersen will miss the one-day series against West Indies because of an Achilles tendon injury in his right leg.

Pietersen said the injury was likely to heal in time for the Ashes series against Australia starting in July and next month’s World Twenty20.

“The medical advice is to rest the Achilles and although I’m frustrated to be leaving a happy and successful dressing room I’m absolutely confident this will help me overcome what has up until now been a minor ongoing injury,” Pietersen said in a statement issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

“I hate missing out on playing for England but understand that in this instance it’s necessary in order to overcome the injury. I was looking forward to playing a significant part in what should be an exciting and closely fought series.”

The first of the three one-day internationals against West Indies is at Headingley on Friday with the other two matches scheduled for Monday and next Wednesday (NZT)

“Even though I won’t be lining up for England during this series I’ll be watching and supporting the team closely as they set about repeating the recent one-day series win in the Caribbean,” Pietersen said.

“I’m looking forward to being back in the England lineup for the World Twenty20 and the rest of an exciting summer of cricket.” ECB chief medical officer Nick Pierce said Pietersen’s injury had flared up after the second test against West Indies, which England won by an innings and 83 runs on Monday to complete a 2-0 series win.

Soheb Akhtar may be Dropped for ICC T20 worldcup 2009

Fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar could be dropped from Pakistan's squad for the next month's World Twenty20 Championships if he failed to
appear for the practice games in Lahore later this week.

A source in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Monday that Shoaib will have to play in the three practice games to be played between Patron's XI and Chairman's XI May 20-22. The matches are being arranged in preparation for the June 5-21 World Twenty20 Championships in England.

Shoaib, 33, is part of Pakistan's 15-man squad for the England but there is a question mark about his chances of featuring in the biennial spectacle as he skipped a five-day conditioning camp held in the hill resort of Bhurban due to a skin problem.

Shoaib has been named in the Patrons XI to be led by Younis Khan but it remains to be seen whether he will feature in the matches.

A source close to Shoaib said Monday that the fast bowler has recovered from his skin problem and has resumed his training for the World Twenty20 Championship.

But the bowler could face disciplinary action from the PCB after opting to get his skin infection treated by a private doctor rather than going to a specialist recommended by the Board.

According to a report in the Jang newspaper Monday, senior PCB officials including the Board chairman Ijaz Butt are unhappy with Shoaib's decision to consult a private doctor before taking permission from the PCB's medical commission.

According to the central contract that Shoaib has signed with the board, he has to take permission from the PCB before consulting a doctor for any kind of medical condition.
